The finer grained, hard stones were much in demand as grindstones for the cutlery trade and for fine fettling and finishing in iron foundries.

William Smith, a yeoman of Grenoside, who died "of great age" in 1627 had taken out a cutlers mark in 1614.

The Grenoside Sword Dance forms an important mid-winter ritual for the village and can be traced back to the 1750s.

The Primary School, originally on the north side of Norfolk Hill, relocated to a new building to the south of the road in 2006.

Grenoside's new crematorium, built in 1999 on Skew Hill Lane, was formerly a munitions scrap yard.

Part of Greno Woods is a nature reserve managed by The Wildlife Trust for Sheffield and Rotherham.
