About

Broomhill & Lower Crookesmoor is a residential and academic district west of Sheffield city centre. The area is characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, many converted into student accommodation, alongside family homes. Its main thoroughfare is Fulwood Road, lined with a practical mix of independent shops, cafes, and supermarkets catering to the local and university population. The presence of the University of Sheffield's teaching hospitals and departments lends a steady, scholarly atmosphere to the streets.

The terrain slopes upward from Crookes Valley Park, which surrounds a former reservoir and offers green space with tennis courts and a boating lake. A specific local landmark is the former Broomhill Church of England School, a distinctive red-brick building on Whitham Road that now serves as a nursery. The area functions as a busy transit point, with major bus routes connecting it directly to the university campuses and the city centre, ensuring it is rarely quiet during term time.
