Chapeltown is a suburb of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England.
Like much of Sheffield, there is a large amount of greenspace in and around Chapeltown. The town centre has a cricket ground and a wooded park on either side of it. Between Chapeltown and Ecclesfield the land is used for residential purposes on one side of the main road and agricultural on the other. There is also a brownfield site above the park.
Chapeltown railway station is on the Penistone Line. Two junctions of the M1 motorway also serve the area.
Most of the industry in the town lies within the Thorncliffe Industrial Estate, formerly the works of Newton, Chambers & Company. This company was first established on this site in 1793,[1] initially an iron works but which over time expanded into related mining industries and the production of products produced by the fractional distillation of coal, including Izal disinfectant range and, in World War II, Churchill tanks.
