Kipling Close, DRONFIELD, S18 1NH

View from the corner of Highgate Lane and Shakespeare Crescent.

A footpath crosses the fields down to the main road, here with a view past houses on Burns Drive.

Some of the highest houses in this corner of Dronfield as the track from Ouzel Bank Farm becomes a road.

Hallowes Hall is now the clubhouse of Hallowes Golf Club which was founded in 1892 and stands beside an ancient trackway that linked Sheffield and Chesterfield. The golf club purchased the old hall in 1923. The golf club's website provides some useful historical background:- "Andrew Moorewood bought the Hallowes Estate and built his prestigious house, Hallowes Hall in 1657. A date stone above the front entrance remains to this day. During the late sixteenth century a long barn with an oak beamed roof and brew house were built, and in the mid-seventeenth century an outside gazebo was added. It remains an imposing and relatively complete example of a mid-seventeenth century, three storey, H-plan house constructed of squared, coursed coal measures sandstone. In spite of the single storey modern additions, the gabled style, the two fine doorways and the multitude of mullioned windows are still redolent of a long past."
