Hackenthorpe is an outer suburb of the city, approximately 8km south east of the city centre. The Conservation Area encloses part of the historic hamlet of Hackenthorpe, which is a small part of the wider suburb.
The Conservation Area's buildings are scattered beside 3 roads, Beighton Road, Sheffield Road and Main Street.
The special interest that justifies designation of the Hackenthorpe Conservation Area derives from:
- architectural and historic interest of the areas buildings, including Greenside, a Grade II listed building, and Hackenthorpe Hall a large Victorian house
- former Staniforth Works which originated in the mid 18th Century and was once one of the largest sickle and scythe manufacturers in England
- the village green
- historic street pattern
- stone boundary walls
- the area's trees, particularly those around Greenside, Inkersall House and Hackenthorpe Hall
- distinctive local features, stone gate piers, a King George V post box and a pond in the courtyard of the former sickle works
Date of designation
Hackenthorpe Conservation Area was originally designated on 12 July 1976.
