Indie scene in Crookes, Walkley & Broomhill
Sharing the same hill, Crookes and Walkley are close enough to one another that you could easily take a shopping stroll round both in a morning or afternoon, and maybe even add on a visit to Broomhill too. All are home to a selection of unique retail businesses.
On South Road in Walkley there’s an array of interesting indie shops such as Walkley Beer Co, Walkley Community Store, Gerrys Bakery, Plantology and gift shop The Walkley Press.
Further up the hill, along the main road in Crookes you’ll find shops such as Meadow Small, Sorrel’s Cocoa Bakery (where it's not uncommon to find a queue), award-winning Small Stuff and Flourish.
