Sheffield neighbourhood
Kelham, Sheffield
Inside the Kelham boundary: 5 upcoming events, 7 businesses, 3 places, 7 charities.
Also known as Kelham Island.
Kelham Island is the former industrial district on the River Don just north of the city centre, now known for Kelham Island Museum, its breweries and beer pubs, independent food and the warehouse venues shared with neighbouring Neepsend. Christmas and food markets use the museum yard and the cobbled streets around Alma Street and Ball Street.

Scorecard 1 card
How Kelham scores
Overall 54 out of 100, ranked 59 of 147 neighbourhoods, from 5 of 7 dimensions. Each score is a percentile rank against the other neighbourhoods, not a measurement.

How these scores are worked out
Each input is a percentile rank: the share of the other neighbourhoods this one is at least as good as (direction per input). A dimension is the percentile rank of the mean of its available input ranks and needs at least two inputs; the overall score is the mean of the scored dimensions. Points are placed by point-in-polygon against the Data for Action boundaries; per-head figures use Census 2021 residents for neighbourhoods with their own census areas; noise shares sample an even grid of points inside each polygon against the Defra Lden bands; distances are straight lines from the polygon centre. Kelham covers 0.18 km² and borrows its census figures from the nearest census area, so per-head inputs are not ranked; noise was sampled at 94 points.

At the centre of Kelham the bedrock is the Pennine Lower Coal Measures Formation: mudstone, siltstone, sandstone, coal, ironstone and ferricrete, Carboniferous, Langsettian (Westphalian A), about 316 to 314 million years ago, on the BGS 1:625 000 bedrock map (unit PSLCM).

How this neighbourhood compares
Kelham is smaller than a census area, so it borrows a neighbour’s figures and is left out of the comparisons rather than counted twice.
