ElmoEldridge Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 An item entitled "Ploughing in Footwalk Field, Crookes" has reappeared on E-bay https://www.ebay.com/itm/294852426907 , this time it has been colourised. Where in Crookes was/is Footwalk Field? I'm fairly sure that they are cutting the hay rather than ploughing, but that doesn't help much for where this is. Cheers Elmo.

Edmund Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Here's my best guess. Field number 222 on the 1905 map, with the Foot Path going diagonally across it. The gable end seen on the extreme right of the photo is number 76 St Thomas Road. By 1920 the houses on Trusswell Road had been built (extreme left of photo). Unfortunately the colourisation process has turned all the houses into brick built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmoEldridge Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 It looks like the photo was taken from approximately what is now 14 Forres Avenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElmoEldridge Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 The un-colourised version from the same seller: I guess that the chimney belongs to the brick works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
