Oughtibridge, The View Over The Valley c.1960

More about this scene
As nearby Sheffield expanded, so did towns like Oughtibridge in the Don Valley. The river powered mills, but later manufacturing became the mainstay. Here high up over the town, in 1951 the Wortley Rural District Council thoughtfully placed this beacon to mark the Festival of Britain. It shows a map of the area with distance and altitude. Sheffield at 275ft is four miles away, while the South Yorkshire Mental Hospital (375ft) is a mile from here.
