St. Anthony Road, SHEFFIELD, S10 1SG

Tinker Lane meets Bolehill Lane. Tinker Lane rises up from Bole Hill Road and where they meet is the Walkley to Intake bus terminus.

This shows how steep Tinker Lane really is. I was a bit a weakling until I got a bike. I road up down here times many until I could pedal from bottom to top while still sitting on the saddle. It was a damn good place to sledge down, but a bit of a climb back up. Also shows three entrances onto the Bolehills; here, just up the road by the cottages and centre distance, via the steps.

Stannington View Road takes the line of an old path known as Long Walk which ran between the two sandstone quarries, Toft Wood Quarry and Horsfall's Quarry. The western end of the path still exists today and is seen here between the higher building (the last of this row http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2737504 ) on the corner of Stannington View Road and the more recently built yellow-brick houses on the right.

Towards Stannington View Road. See Image] for a view from the other direction and further details of this path. The high wall on the right supports the house on the left in the other photo http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2737521.

Bolehill Lane meets Toftwood Road, to the left and Toftwood Avenue, to the right. If you carry on straight across the junction and walk to the end of Bolehill Lane, before it takes a sharp bend to the right, there is a nice walk down to Clough Fields and several equally nice options to make your way down to the Rivelin Valley. I used to walk down there alone, when my age was in the single figures and there never was any reason to worry about doing so. There is a very pretty walk, in the valley, that follows the river from Glen Bridge to Rivelin Mill Bridge. My wife and I have walked that and carried on through to Baslow and back.

The footpath gives access to St Anthony Road to the east and Clough Fields to the west.

From Stannington View Road. The trees in the middle ground show the course of the Rivelin which flows down the valley between Crookes and Stannington. The tower blocks are in Deer Park, Stannington http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/972372.

Looking up towards Stannington View Road. I was surprised to find a small flock of geese in the enclosure behind the hedge on the right.

This part of Stannington View Road takes the line of an old path known as Long Walk which ran between the two sandstone quarries, Toft Wood Quarry and Horsfall's Quarry.
