**Normanton Spring** (according to [Ordnance Survey](/source/Ordnance_Survey) maps), also called **Normanton Springs**, is a suburb and former hamlet located 4 miles east of [Sheffield City Centre](/source/Sheffield_City_Centre), now classed as a historic township of the city. Due to expansion during the 1960s, the hamlet became a part of [Sheffield](/source/Sheffield).[1]

## History

During the 20th century, the hamlet was known for its mining industry with the [Birley Collieries](/source/Birley_Collieries) being on both the east and west side respectively.[2] The [Shire Brook](/source/Shire_Brook), which flows through the south of the hamlet, was noted for its use in the smithing of sickles and scythes, with [Thomas Staniforth & Co](/source/Thomas_Staniforth_%26_Co) based at neighbouring [Hackenthorpe](/source/Hackenthorpe) and [Hutton & Co](/source/Hutton_%26_Co) at [Ridgeway, Derbyshire](/source/Ridgeway%2C_Derbyshire), both renting wheels along the brook, the most notable of which being the [Nether Wheel](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nether_Wheel&action=edit&redlink=1).[3][4]

Former schoolhouse

A former schoolhouse which was in use during the 20th century has since been converted into residential use, and the mining pits are now part of the [Shire Brook Valley Local Nature Reserve](/source/Shire_Brook_Valley_Local_Nature_Reserve). The local pub, The Normanton Springs Inn, has also been demolished.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]
