Broomhill shopping area is a well established area with a good mix of shops. The shops are contained within properties dating from the late 19th century through to the mid 20th century although the overall character is that of a suburban commercial core. Public Houses were established in the area from the 1830s onward, although the commercial character of the area was probably only established in the early part of the 20th century. Prior to the commercial character, early maps show an area The polygon details that part of the shopping area that was enclosed from Crookes Moor by the Ecclesall enclosure of 1788. The curve at the corner of Crookes Road and Whitham Road follows the line of enclosure as depicted on the award. Legibility is fragmentary as some of the prior housing and pubs remain. Some enclosure field boundaries remain encoded into the present day road system.
