Area of early industrial development to the east of Washford Bridge around Effingham Road. Early maps indicate that this area, possibly at the western tip of Attercliffe village was a site of early industry. Fairbanks (1795) depicts a corn mill to the north of Effingham Road. The power source for this mill is uncertain but may well have been steam as by1851 it is shown as Attercliffe Steam Mill (the managers house of c1805 survives as the Top Spot Snooker Club on Birch Road - listed buildings online). The 1851 6 inch to the mile mapping also depicts an 'Old Brick Kiln' immediately to the north east of the bridge. By 1891 most of this area is predominantly covered by back to back courts and other high density terraced housing. From the 1954 OS 1:1250 map onwards there seems to have been ongoing replacement of these courts with the small light industrial buildings which give the area its present character.
