Intake is a suburb and former village located 5 miles (8 km) south-east of Sheffield city centre, South Yorkshire, England.
The Shire Brook which flows through the south-east, originally marked the boundary between Derbyshire and Yorkshire.
However, in the 20th century, many collieries were opened in the area, with coal mining being the main source of employment.
In the 1870 publication Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales by John Marius Wilson, Intake is described as being 'a village in Handsworth parish, W. R. Yorkshire; 3 miles SE of Sheffield.
[2] There are a number of listed buildings in the area, including the Intake Cemetery Chapel constructed in 1879,[3] along with the surrounding walls and washhouse.
