1940-1959

The original line of Windsor Street was bottom right to top left, through the industrial premises, which were Royds Engineering Works and Royds Silver Works, and the branch to the left was formerly Royds Lane.

Royds Mill Lane, now extinguished, runs left to right near the top, with Effingham Steel Works and Rolling Mills above, and Attercliffe Road at the very top.

Royds Mill Lane was extinguished between 1953 and 1965. The building in the angle between Princess Street and Royds Lane (now Windsor Street) first appears between 1935 and 1953, so the picture can be dated between 1935 and 1965.
