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.

Crookes, Crookes
A rather confusing title, but this road ahead is simply called Crookes, which also happens to be the name of the district it passes through.
To the left, is The Old Grindstone. To the right, hardly seen behind the trees, 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, of which I was a member.
From 40–60, more houses in the row, which included Sam Hoole & Sons, Coal Dealers, who delivered our coal at Crookes 239a. At number 62 was Mrs A Redford, Fruitier and Greengrocer. All were gone by the ‘70s.
Originally, this was a tram route - Crookes to Handsworth.
