Crosspool as it was 160 years ago has been revealed on a set historic maps.

The Sheffield maps were drawn at various dates since 1850 and are available for viewing on the National Library of Scotland website.

The 1850 Crosspool map (PNG, 3.3MB) shows just a handful of dwellings around the Lydgate junction and Stephen Hill. You can also see landmark buildings that have since been knocked down including Lydgate Hall and The Kings Head pub.

Crosspool crime map published on new police website

A new website has launched that allows people to view crimes reported in their neighbourhood on a online map.

As well as the crime maps, the www.police.uk website also lists the names of local police officers and offers feedback and advice for local residents.

A link to a map centered on Crosspool shops is below, but be warned, the site has been struggling with demand so may not work first time. You can also put in your own postcode for a personalised report.

To protect privacy, individual addresses are not pinpointed on the map. Crimes are mapped to an anonymous point on or near the road where they occurred.
