Dore

Dore (Grid reference: SK311812) is a village in South Yorkshire. Until 1934 it was part of Derbyshire, but it is now a suburb of Sheffield.

The village lies on a hill above the River Sheaf. It has a reputation of being Sheffield’s wealthiest suburb, and Dore and Totley is the only ward of the city that regularly elects a Conservative councillor.

Dore was first mentioned in 829, when King Ecgbert of Wessex led his army to the village to receive the submission of the Northumbrian army, thereby becoming the first king of England.
