Heeley is a former cluster of
villages now a
suburb in the south of the
City of Sheffield, England. The village has existed at least since 1343, its name deriving from
Heah Leah,
High Lea then
Hely, meaning a high, woodland clearing. Originally Heeley was divided into three:
Upper Heeley (or
Heeley Top) was around the intersection of Myrtle Road and Heeley Green,
Middle Heeley was on the Gleadless Road at Well Road, and
Lower Heeley (or
Heeley Bottom) was on the London Road around Artisan View.
