The Old Grindstone, Crookes
...but not the original. The Old Original Grindstone was across the road, about where the tree stands. 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

Lydgate Lane, Crookes
This is the junction of Lydgate Lane, Crookes and Crookes Road. Years ago, just out of sight and to the left of the picture, was a clump of early 19th century (at least) cottages and a pub; all gone by the ‘70s.
Over the wall where the new build is, there was nothing of note that I can remember. An 1894 map shows a small building at the other side of the wall, which may have been some sort of store/maintenance shed; after all, there is a sizeable quantity of grass to mow. Beyond the new build was/is an underground reservoir. Whether this is still in use or not, I have yet to find out.
The above ground was utilised for sports, such as cricket and football. It may still be in use. Back in 1855, this reservoir was called Pisgah Dam, but since 1893, Hadfield Dam. The name may have been in use much earlier, but I have no evidence to back that up.
The monolith in the distance is the Sheffield University Arts Tower.
