Attercliffe Road
Attercliffe is recorded in the Doomsday book as "Ateclive".
There are disagreements about its meaning by language experts. One theory
is that it comes from an Old Norse personal name and means "the cliff
of Attir or Attir's Cliffe. However, a more widely accepted meaning is "the
place at the cliff". The "cliff" being the rising ground on
the east side of the river Don.
