Morts Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 This brought back memories and I’m talking 50 years ago. My dad worked at Broom Cross, which was on Tree Root Walk, as a radiographer and I would often walk there after school for a lift home. I’ve not been there for such a long time and no doubt the old buildings around there have been gobbled up by either Weston Park Hospital, where my dad moved to, or the Hallamshire Hospital. The XRay Centre was what would be classified as a centre of excellence these days. It was really pioneering stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruby Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 It’s from the tree roots that protruded into the walk at one time. Trees on the top side of the walk are well above the level of the road and the roots would still protrude if the bank had not been walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
