Crookes

Crookes is an area of the City of Sheffield, England, about 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) west of the center of the city. It borders Broomhill to the south, Walkley and Crookesmoor to the east and open countryside around the River Rivelin to the north. The area is  
thought to have got its name from the Old Norse word "Krkor" which means a corner of land.http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~engsheffield/webpages/derivisions.htm Sheffield area name dervations, Rootsweb
