Staniforth Road

Sheffield Road bridge crossing the Sheffield & Tinsley Canal

Staniforth Road is located in Sheffield, England. It connects the Attercliffe and Darnall areas of the city.

Historically the road has been used as a shopping street, with notable businesses being present over the years, including 2 cinemas, the Regal near Attercliffe Road and the Balfour. The road features a bridge that crossed over the Sheffield & Tinsley Canal.[1]

On 25 October 2018 a Sheffield Stagecoach Supertram operating on the newly opened Tram-Train route collided with a lorry at the Staniforth Road/Woodburn Road junction. It is believed the lorry ran a red light. Several people were taken to hospital but there were no fatalities. No action was taken against the driver of the lorry.[2]
