Cobden View Road, SHEFFIELD, S10 1HP

This establishment sits hidden away on Cobden View Road. It has two etched windows either side of the front door. The one to the left has written, TENNANTS' CELEBRATED ALES & STOUTS and the one to the right, WILEY'S OLD MATURED WINES & SPIRITS. The road to the right is School Road.

The gable end of this house really does lean out rather dramatically, so much so that it caught my eye without looking out for anything to photograph. The inner corner, above the doorway, has had to be filled in when the gap opened up, but that appears to have been done long ago.

A typical street scene on the fringe of the city. Densely packed housing with stone frontages, roadside parking and with the occasional pub, corner shop and chapel dotted about, all mostly on steep hills.

Looking down the tree–lined road towards School Road. To the right is suburban housing, to the left, Westways School, the former Western Road Secondary Modern School.

Looking past the end of Cobden View Road on the right.

Campaign to save Sheffield's street trees.

The main entrance/exit to the school is on Mona Avenue. This was the original entrance/exit, which is on Western Road and faces the houses opposite. There is a fire exit from the building, further down Western Road. When I did my schooling here, back in the ‘40s and ‘50s, there were another two on the opposite side of the building. All led from the hall, which was used for assembly, school meals and P.E. P.E. was my worst nightmare, but I nearly always got away without doing it. I also ‘escaped’ playing football, except for the once, as ‘they’ quickly realised I had no concept of the game and probably for that same reason, I never ever got to play cricket. When we were all marched off to the playing fields on the Bolehills for cricket and football, I was made to walk or run around the field. ‘They’ never realised my potential for running though, as I could really shift, especially when it was very cold. ‘They’ were obviously too interested in the game, to see me running my little legs off. The school is now called Westways.

The Former Western Road Secondary Modern School, Crookes The main entrance/exit to the school is on Mona Avenue. This was the original entrance/exit, which is on Western Road and faces the houses opposite. There is a fire exit from the building, further down Western Road. When I did my schooling here, back in the ‘40s and ‘50s, there were another two on the opposite side of the building. All led from the hall, which was used for assembly, school meals and P.E. The school is now called Westways.

This is now Westways, seen at its position at the corner of Western Road and Mona Avenue. The school was built as three separate buildings for seniors, juniors and infants. The senior school is further separated from the others by a high retaining wall, behind which the land was built up from the land below to lessen the slope of the two playgrounds.
