How to get here
Frecheville is approximately 3 miles outside Sheffield City centre on the A6135. Heading southeast, the A6135 changes from being Mansfield Road to Birley Moor Road. Approximately 100 yards after this point, turn right on to Heathfield Road. Then take the first road on the left. This is Smalldale Road. A path, with hedges that are sometimes overgrown, leads to a paved forecourt (on which parking is not allowed). The library is set back on this forecourt.
