Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 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.
