==Districts of Dore and Totley ward== ===Dore=== {{main|Dore, South Yorkshire}} '''[[Dore, South Yorkshire|Dore]]''' ({{gbmapping|SK311812}}) is a village in [[South Yorkshire]]. Until 1934 it was part of [[Derbyshire]], but it is now a suburb of Sheffield. The village lies on a hill above the [[River Sheaf]], and has a reputation of being Sheffield's wealthiest suburb.

===Totley=== {{main|Totley}} '''Totley''' ({{gbmapping|SK309799}}) is a suburb on the extreme southwest of Sheffield, next to the [[Yorkshire]]/Derbyshire boundary. Formerly a Derbyshire village, Totley officially became part of Sheffield in 1935.

Totley was mentioned in the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086 as ''Totinglee'', the name meaning a forest clearing belonging to Tota (probably the Saxon lord). [[Totley Hall]], built in 1623 and enlarged in the 19th century, was converted to a teacher training college in the 1950s and was latterly part of [[Sheffield Hallam University]].

Totley is roughly divided into three areas: Totley, New Totley and Totley Rise. It is served by the [[Baslow]] road, which is a continuation of [[Abbeydale Road|Abbeydale Road South]] (A621).

Through the district run the Totley Brook and the Old Hay Brook, which are the two sources of the [[River Sheaf]]. Totley also lends its name to [[Totley Tunnel]], the longest underland rail tunnel in the UK. This takes the Sheffield to Manchester line from Totley underneath the [[Totley Moor]] to [[Grindleford]] in Derbyshire.

===Bradway=== '''Bradway''' {{gbmapping|SK330805}} is a suburb in the south of Sheffield composed of three former Derbyshire villages: Upper Bradway, Bradway, and Lower Bradway. Bradway was annexed by Sheffield in the 1930s, thus placing it in the [[ceremonial counties of England|ceremonial county]] of [[South Yorkshire]]. The [[Bradway Tunnel]] opened in 1870 and carries the [[Midland Main Line]] underneath Bradway on its route from Sheffield to Chesterfield. {{commons category|Bradway|position=left}}

===Whirlow=== {{main|Whirlow}} '''Whirlow''' ({{gbmapping|SK317828}}) lies north west of Dore, on the [[Limb Brook]]. It is home to [[Whirlow Hall Farm]] a working farm run as a children's charity and two parks. Whirlowbrook park is set in the 39 acre (158,000 m2) grounds of Whirlowbrook Hall (built 1906) the former home of Sheffield industrialist Sir Walter Benton-Jones (1880–1967).
