BIRLEY and BIRLEY VALE from a picturesque district, 4½ miles S.E. of Sheffield, and comprise a number of scattered houses, a large colliery a Methodist Chapel, and BIRLEY SPA, where a commodious bathhouse was built about nine years ago, by a company of proprietors. This building is at the bottom of the vale, and the grounds around it have been tastefully laid out and planted. The water, which supplies the cold, tepid, warm and shower baths, has been several centuries in repute for its medicinal purposes.

HACKENTHORPE, a village 5 miles S.E. of Sheffield, is noted as one of the chief seats of the sickle manufacture, upwards of 30,000 dozens being made here yearly.
