vox Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 This is Sandhurst Place, off Cobden View Road, Crookes. All the years I've lived around there I've never noticed it before. There are 4 "landlocked" terrace houses down there, with this being the only access I know there are lots of "Hidden Gems" around Crookes and Walkley, and I know of many of them, but I wonder how many more there are that I don't know about.

Old rider Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Sorby Street used to have cobbles in pretty good condition. Unfortunately a few came out at the entrance to the car park of my employer just when the Boss got his super open top Mercedes sports car. The car grounded due to the missing cobles. The big Boss got onto the council screaming down the phone in his temper and the edge of the road got a tarmac repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Sorby Street - Streetview link And images of both halves of Sorby Street. Still got some very good stretches, even though there are a lot of tarmac patches. Google Streetview Google Streetview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PMG50 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Can anyone recognize the pictures below? I'll give you all a clue - S2 postcode and has is not mentioned in the original post or anywhere on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadFarmer Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Apparently the roads close to hospitals often had oak cobbles as they were quieter when horses were passing. Spittal Hill and similar sounding roads get their name from 'Hospital Hill' etc, being the hill that leads to the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Took these a couple of weeks ago: Paradise Street looking rather naked. I was told by one of the men putting it all back together that the numbers on the setts indicate the depth of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madannie77 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Another stretch of cobbles looking a little worse for wear: Devonshire Lane (at the Eldon Street end). The cobbles appear to continue all the way along to Trafalgar Street in varying states of disrepair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartshome Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Found cobbles still on - ASCOT STREET off Bramall Lane and - St BARNABAS LANE off St Barnabas Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinR Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Just a small technical point. These are not "cobbles" but "setts". Cobblestones in Italy Worn coblestones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
