Discover all the local schools and how they measure up.
Crookes is a suburb of the City of Sheffield, England, about 1.5 miles west of the city centre. It borders Broomhill to the south, Walkley and Crookesmoor to the east and open countryside around the River Rivelin to the north. Set in the city, but close to the countryside, you get the best of both worlds. Home to a wide mix of people, including families, students and the older generations, Crookes has a vibrant “village in the city” feeling. With its diverse and exciting range of shops, restaurants and community services, there is something here for everyone! The centre of Crookes is focused on the main road which runs through the suburb, Crookes Road, which connects Broomhill and Crookes before merging into Northfield Road. Crookes Road features the majority of Crookes' shops and businesses, which include a Cooperative, a Sainsbury's and numerous small local stores. Crookes Working Men's Club was established in 1926 and was a venue of Def Leppard who played there in 1979. Notable pubs in Crookes include The Old Grindstone, The Princess Royal, Masons Arms, The Cobden View Hotel, The Punchbowl, The Ball Inn and Noah's Ark.
