About

Crookes sits about two miles northwest of Sheffield city centre, built along the ridge that separates inner suburbs from the hills to the west. Its main spine is Crookes Road, a compact parade of shops, cafes, takeaways and pubs that serves local residents and students from nearby Crookesmoor. There are primary schools, a community centre and local health services within walking distance, and regular bus routes connect Crookes to the city and to neighbouring Broomhill and Walkley. The area began as a village outside Sheffield and retains a small-centre feel around the main road.

Housing is mainly stone-built terraced streets climbing the hill, with pockets of interwar and postwar housing on the slopes. From parts of Crookes Road you can look eastward over the city; on clear days the sightline takes in the city skyline and the lower slopes before the Pennines. Day-to-day life in Crookes is shaped by its position between the university precinct and suburban streets, and by the steep streets and narrow pavements that mark its nineteenth-century street plan.
