schoolrdgal   10 #37 Posted June 14, 2015 Hi scotland1 - welcome to the Forum!. I have a collection of Sheffield directories dating from the 1890s to 1974, and Crookes P.O. is shown at No 100 Crookes in all of them.  My mum worked at the post office around 1947- 1951 then she went back there for a short time in 1966. She worked for Mrs Brufton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
