Beauchief Abbey was built in 1183 by the canons who had mills on the River Sheaf and a sheep grange on Strawberry Lee.

[2] The ruined abbey buildings were dismantled to provide stone for the construction of Beauchief Hall in 1671 with the exception of the bell tower.

The house was built in 1671 by Edward Pegge of the Ashbourne family who had acquired the estate by marriage to Gertrude Strelley in 1648.

The hall and grounds passed from the family with the sale of the property by Edward Strelley Pegge Burnell in 1923.

Ending Joseph Hunter's statement in Hallamshire 1819 that "We have in this family an instance, which by some has been supposed rare, of the direct descendants of the original grantee possessing and residing upon the abbey-lands granted to their ancestor" From 1923 the house served as a school (De la Salle College), In 1958, the Hall and grounds were acquired by the De La Salle College, the grounds being used as playing fields for the college boys.

For six years, the Hall was on lease to the Beauchief Independent Grammar School for Girls, and was subsequently a hotel.

Some outhouses have been turned into private houses and other businesses and organisations own the remaining buildings on the site.

Historic Greenhill village is a Conservation Area comprising one of the most complete set of 18th & 19th century buildings in South Yorkshire.

The Greenhill Hall site of 220 acres was virgin country in 1952, but the area was populated with 3176 dwellings by 1962 during the redevelopment of post-war Sheffield by J. L. Womersley's town planning department.

The neighbourhood contains some groups of houses designed on Radburn principles to separate the inhabitants from traffic.

[8] The original name "Low Edges" was given to a farm located on the east side of the Sheffield to Derby Turnpike, now called Chesterfield Road.

The farm itself was made up of several strips, located on both sides of the Turnpike which had in their names the word Lowedge.

A map of Greenhill derived from a survey made by W & J Fairbank in 1804 and 1805 shows and names the strips.

In addition, the map depicts a "Lowedge Lane" running adjacent to the east of those strips.

A single row of terrace houses along the west side of the southern part of Chesterfield Road forms one of the most southerly groups of buildings in Sheffield, and is the second place to carry the name Lowedges.

It borders on the Derbyshire countryside and farming country, being only a couple of miles from the villages of Coal Aston and Holmesfield and on the edge of the town of Dronfield.

It is also home to Meadowhead School which is located on Dyche Lane toward the top end of Batemoor.

[12] To the north along the A6102 is the St James Retail Park, sited on the grounds of the former Sheffield College Norton Campus and just across the road from Meadowhead School.

Its facilities include a Gym, Pools, Studios, Tennis Courts and a Gymnastics and Trampolining Hall.

[14] There is a Morrisons supermarket, along with two primary schools: Abbey Lane and St Thomas of Canterbury (Catholic).
