Beighton (/ˈbeɪtən, ˈbaɪ-/)[2]—which includes the districts of Beighton, Hackenthorpe, Owlthorpe, and Sothall—is one of the 28 electoral wards in City of Sheffield, England. It is located in the eastern part of the city, on the border with Rotherham and covers an area of 5.7 km2. The population of this ward in 2011 was 17,939 people in 7,538 households.[1]
Before 1967, the districts of this ward formed part of Derbyshire. 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.[3] In 1974 the area became part of the City of Sheffield, in the metropolitan and ceremonial county of South Yorkshire.[4]
