Handsworth Today

Today, Handsworth is a small, diverse, and busy suburb in the South East part of the City of Sheffield. Although some of the older citizens of Handsworth still refer to it as "the village", some of the village atmosphere has inevitably disappeared as it enters the 21st century. Politically, Handsworth is part of the Woodhouse ward in the Sheffield Attercliffe parliamentary constituency.
