Looking towards Heeley

I bet a lot of the landmarks in this photograph hold some fond memories!

 

Can anyone tell me why the open spaces we`re left undeveloped?

Weren't they the old mill ponds, amd so would be prone to flooding? I'm not so sure about the one next to Heeley baths, just behind and below the Abbeydale cinema, though.

Was the river diverted when they built Broadfield Rd?

The land was used for Express Dairys

The land above the river was used by Tyzack Turner when they got rid of the goit

On the right of the photo is a dam for the waterwheel at Tyzacks, was later built on by Laycocks I think
