CROOKES and WALKLEY (SHEFFIELD)

Newspaper advertisement from The London Times dated 19th November 1953
" I thought of the leafy district of Broomhill on the western heights of Sheffield, where gabled black stone houses rise above the ponticums and holly, and private cast-iron lamp-posts light the gravelled drives.
Greek, Italian, Gothic, they stand in winding tree-shaded roads, these handsome mansions of the Victorian industrialists who made their pile from steel and cutlery in the crowded mills below. They lived in what is still the prettiest suburb in England."
Extract from: John Betjeman, Telegraph and Morning Post, July 3 1961
