Dore is a large village in
South Yorkshire, England. The village lies on a hill above the
River Sheaf which gave
Sheffield its name, and until 1934 was part of
Derbyshire, but it is now a suburb of the city. Dore is served by
Dore and Totley railway station on the
Hope Valley Line between Sheffield and
Manchester. The railway tunnel between Dore and Totley under a limb of the
Pennines to
Hathersage in Derbyshire is the longest such in England, second only to the
Severn Tunnel between England and South Wales. They are the longest main line railway tunnels anywhere in
Great Britain - the
London Underground and
Channel Tunnel to France excepted, of course. Dore has long enjoyed a reputation of being Sheffield's wealthiest suburb, and
Dore and Totley was the only ward of the city which regularly elected a
Conservative councillor. However, as of May 2008 all three councillors were
Liberal Democrats. The Member of Parliament for Sheffield Hallam constituency, of which Dore is part, is Liberal Democrat
Nick Clegg, who from 2010 until 2015 served as Britain's deputy prime minister in the Coalition government.
