I came across these three postcards on a well known auction site the other day. All are images of Crookes Valley Park Crookesmoor Sheffield dating from the early twentieth century
The first is circa 1914 and focuses on the bowling green that is still there to this day,
The second photograph was possibly taken after the first world war, possibly circa 1927 whilst the third and final photograph was taken circa 1935
The park really has not changed in terms of layout since these photographs were taken. The main difference is that the trees and shrubbery have grown especially around the perimeter of the park. On the third photograph you can clearly see the backs of the houses on Harcourt Road but these nowadays are partly obscured especially in summer
