On the right, just above Coombe Road is Mr B’s Off Licence and back in the ‘60s it was a Butchers Shop. Beyond the house is DJ’s News, which as the name suggests, is a Newsagents, as it was back then. Next door is Da Vinci Hair, Hairdressers, which used to be Darnell’s Drapers Shop. There are a couple more houses and between them and The Works Beauty Studio, is Wesley Lane.
On this side of the road, just beyond Bute Street, was Ideal Upholstery Services - Charles Scruton, Hairdresser - Dow Electrics, Electrical Appliance Dealers and H Vicars, Fishmonger. All gone by the '70s.
Charles Scruton, the hairdresser was a pleasant mild–mannered man. The problem with him was that he was good at his job and so the shop was nearly always full, which often meant a long wait.

To the right, is new build. When I lived in Crookes, there in the ‘60s, was a mixed range of old cottages, from 2–20 Crookes. At 22/24 was The Old Original Grindstone – 26/30 Raffo’s Gift Shop & Hardware Dealers – 34/36 Cecil P Oldham, Electrical Engineer and Bicycle Dealer. "Ernie", as we knew him, also ran a cycling club based in Totley. From 40–60, more houses in the row, which included Sam Hoole & Sons, Coal Dealers. At number 62 was Mrs A Redford, Fruitier and Greengrocer. All were gone by the ‘70s. Then comes Coombe Road, across which is Mr B’s Off Licence. Back in the ‘60s it was a Butchers Shop. Beyond the house is DJ’s News, which as the name suggests, is a Newsagents, as it was back then. Next door is Da Vinci Hair, Hairdressers, which used to be Darnell’s Drapers Shop.

Originally, this was a tram route - Crookes to Handsworth.
