...but not the original. The Old Original Grindstone was across the road, about where the building is behind the tree. I have no history of The Old Grindstone, or the Original, but if anything becomes known, I will update this. The road left leads to Crosspool and the A57. The road right carries on up to Crookes, Walkley and Hillsborough. I photographed this pub back in 1968 and did a pen and ink drawing of it in 1976, which you can see here, much reduced in size from 7100x5000 - http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a303/escafeld01/Misc/OLDGRINDSTONE-LINEDRAWINGb.jpg NOTE - I retain the copyright for the drawing.
