Description: The historic meaning of 21 Sheffield place names - from beheading sites to 'infested' areas. Many parts of Sheffield can boast a history dating back centuries, or even thousands of years. They have left traces of their history on the landscape, built environment and local economies – and also in the enduring names given to those places, with some of them coming from bizarre sources.

Five fire engines are tackling a large blaze at an industrial building in Rotherham.

South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue has urged people to avoid the area and keep windows and doors closed due to smoke from a fire at Steel Street.

The service reported the incident at 10.30pm this morning, Monday July 3. A photo from the scene shows thick smoke billowing across a fenced compound. Officers in breathing gear are visible and hoses from three appliances snake across the road.
