Woodhouse As A Whole
Woodhouse (grid reference SK420849) is a former farming and coal-mining village, now a suburb and housing estate in the south-east of Sheffield.
It is served by regular buses to Sheffield and has a station on the Sheffield–Lincoln railway line.

The 17th century former Cross Daggers public house, the base of the village market cross and the stocks can be seen in the centre of the suburb. Many other old cottages, including a wattle and daub house dating from the fifteenth century, were demolished in the 1960s as part of a major redevelopment.
An old Quaker Meetinghouse dating to the 17th century was converted into private residences in the 1980s.

Woodhouse is home to the Woodhouse Prize Band, a brass band founded in 1853.

History
Woodhouse today bears little resemblance to its humble beginnings.
This farming village was, until the advent of coal mining in the area, relatively free of any kind of modern post-industrial revolution influence. The population was invariably engaged in either small-scale farming or farming related sub-industries such as early retail and tanning.
Most of the architecture associated with this era has been lost but, luckily, a few reminders survive. Manor Farm Cottage, at the heart of the village, is a sympathetically restored old building and a reminder of Woodhouse's long-lost past.

The advent of coal mining attracted an influx of young men and families wishing to capitalise on the various local mining ventures. Woodhouse grew quickly into a mining community with the opening of a number of mines within commuting distance. The village expanded considerably to accommodate the pit workers. Spa Lane, Back Lane and Sheffield Road quickly wound a new and expansive network of pit houses, ensuring that Woodhouse would become a 'pit village'.

A detailed history of the life of Woodhouse in 1912 and 1966 is available from Sheffield University library.
