Pre-eminent was the Broomgrove Wall.
Hey Duncan did you ever climb on the wall in Endcliffe Park? Used to spend hours down there as it was only 5 minutes from my house.

^^^Darwin that looks like you had a great trip. When I first started to climb in the late 70's Bamford was still out of bounds. Here's an extract from the 1976 guide.
"There is no right of access to the rocks or moor. Outside the summer period 1st April to 30th September small groups of climbers may be allowed access to the crag IF THEY FIRST CONTACT THE KEEPER, Mr.F. Darwent, telephone no. Bamford 458. They should do this some days before their intended visit to be sure of being at the head of the queue. Parties using the edge without first obtaining permission will be asked to leave and are prejudcing any further improvement in access".

Thanks everyone for sharing all the great photos and wonderful stories. Grit is truly amazing stuff to climb on and the setting, with the rolling hills, farms, and limestone valleys below and the moors above, truly unique.
Rich in history, too, think of Joe Brown leading the offwidth Right Eliminate (E3/5.10D) at Curbar in 1951 in tennis shoes and a hemp rope tied around his waist with only one slung chock stone for pro!
