This cross roads at the heart of Broomhill. To the left is Fulwood Road and to the right, Whitham Road. The Stagecoach bus is picking up passengers at the bus stop on Crookes Road, which is situated almost at the bottom of Spooner Road. Sir John Betjeman said of Broomhill. "I thought of the leafy district of Broomhill on the western heights of Sheffield, where gabled black stone houses rise above the ponticums and holly, and private cast-iron lamp-posts light the gravelled drives. Greek, Italian, Gothic, they stand in winding tree-shaded roads, these handsome mansions of the Victorian industrialists who made their pile from steel and cutlery in the crowded mills below. They lived in what is still the prettiest suburb in England."
