Sheffield is known for its steep hills – but Blake Street really takes the biscuit.

According to officials at the Ordnance Survey, the organisation responsible for detailed maps of Sheffield and the rest of the UK, Blake Street, in Upperthorpe, is the steepest in the city.

Residents love the street, despite the challenges living on Sheffield’s steepest street present. Stuart Wyatt lives near the top of the street, and said it was not always fun to walk up. But he said: “We have fantastic views from my bedroom window and can see out over the whole of the city centre, and if we get snow it’s a hotbed for sledging. It’s a great place to live and it’s a nice community around here as well.”

Intrigued as to what the other steepest streets are in the city, we asked our readers to cast their votes on Facebook and Twitter.
