Commonside may have gained its title from the habit of herders ‘resting’ their animals on common land in this area whilst in the process of moving them from Stannington and Walkley to the former cattle market near Sheffield's former Victoria Station. (See: https://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/16673-baaa/). Although city bound buses join Barber Road ahead - on the horizon - Commonside bears to the right at the same point, passing the side of a jeweller's shop that has blue shutters (a former bank) and it continues uphill towards Crookes and Broomhill.
