Crooked Steps, Pye Bank, Sheffield or Harvest Lane

Hi does anyone have any information about a location known as Crooked Steps?  It is shows as an ancestors address in the 1881 Census and listed as Harvest Lane.  I've checked out Picture Sheffield but couldn't find any pics specifically listed as Crooked Steps.  I know it was/is hilly around there so I'm guessing there literally were a set of crooked steps, it just seems odd to have as an address.

Thanks in advance!

In the 1841 Rodgers directory the Crooked Steps are listed at 60 Pye Bank.

Edit; 1837 listed 56 Pye Bank so possibly between the two.

An 1848 newspaper report, a lady named Sarah Taylor and her son George are living at...

Crooked Steps Row, Pye Bank, Bridgehouses..

Quite possibly no connection but here are what appear to be some winding  steps off Pye Bank in 1889.  There are other steps showing further down the road.
