In that year an extension of the then County Borough of Sheffield took in the area, which was consequently transferred to the West Riding of Yorkshire.

Some remnants of the old village have survived including the church of Saint Mary the Virgin, which was built in the 12th century.

The Rother Valley Country Park is just outside the eastern edge of the village and is a local centre for water sports.

The parish church St. Mary the Virgin was restored in 1868 and a clock was erected in the tower in 1921 as a memorial to parishioners who gave their lives in the Great War.

Sheffield Supertram circulates around the estate and can be easily accessed depending on your location at three tram stops: Birley Moor Road, Hackenthorpe or Donetsk Way.

During much of the late 19th and 20th centuries the village was noted for its steelmaking, with the Thomas Staniforth & Co sickle works being based at Main Street.
