It is common to hear owls in the woods here, says David Pierce, the recent chair of the
900-strong Nether Edge Neighbourhood Group. But it is the sense of community that
really sets this area of Sheffield apart.
At the bottom of the road is a collection of shops and eateries, including Cafe#9, a
bohemian place with a log burning stove and which hosts regular live music
performances. One lady is enjoying a coffee serenely cross-legged on the floor. “It’s not
called Cafe hash nine for nothing,” jokes Graham.
Through a purple-painted door, there’s the Nether Edge Bowling Club. The shed here,
for the Christmas edition of the quarterly Nether Edge Farmers Market, becomes a
grotto. Though, alas, Santa noted in the December newsletter that he would no longer
be able to visit next year.
Is that tradition over? “Well,” says Pierce, taking off his glasses with aplomb, “I might
change my mind.”
Pierce was part of a small group who founded the farmers’ market in 2008. It has grown
to an event with 80 stalls and has so far raised £80,000 for charity. The roads are
pedestrianized for the market, and there’s entertainment.
“Obviously we have had Morris dancers, and belly dancers,” says Pierce. “And there’s
nothing better than the orchestra in the fresh air.”
