00:00Netheredge is one of the best places to live in the north of England. In fact, it's one
00:06of the top ten in the UK and certainly the best in Sheffield according to the Sunday
00:13Times. We went to Netheredge to find out why this place is so desirable. From the small
00:22independent cafes where the baristas know your name, to the independent shops which
00:28line Abbeydale Road. There is apparently so much going for Netheredge. So much so that
00:36comedian Mark Steele for his BBC Radio 4 series looking at different places to live across
00:43the UK came to Netheredge to meet the locals where he discovered that there was a lentil
00:50belt and a so-called hummus belt. He also said that people outside of the area said
00:56that Netheredge wasn't real Sheffield. But the Sunday Times shares how this leafy suburb
01:04of Sheffield is home to some of the best schools that people want to get their children into.
01:11As well as regular yard sales and quarterly Netheredge farmers markets where you get to
01:17see in Netheredge crossroads some of the best suppliers and independent businesses from
01:24near and far. There has even been a campaign by locals and businesses to get Netheredge
01:33officially proclaimed as a village. Whilst currently they've not been successful even
01:40though there is a very popular bowling club and social area in Netheredge and of course
01:45cafe number nine. An independent coffee shop where you'll find a range of live music, freshly
01:52roasted coffee, all before you go shopping at Zed's Whole Foods store in the heart of
01:59Netheredge's crossroads. Sophie Malan Malin reporting from Netheredge, one of the UK's
