Gleadless (/ˈɡliːdlɪs/) is a suburb and parish within the City of Sheffield, it lies 3 miles (5 km) south east of the city centre. It is bordered by the adjoining suburbs of Gleadless Valley (in whose ward the population falls) to the west, Frecheville to the east and Intake to the north. The land to the south is the rural area of North East Derbyshire district which is outside the city boundary. Gleadless was formerly a country hamlet, then village before becoming part of the expanding city of Sheffield in 1921. The word Gleadless comes from the Old English language and means either "forest clearings haunted by a kite" (gleoda) or "bright clearing" (glaed).
