There have been a few changes in Southowram since this map was produced in 1906

Mill Lane closed off during the building of Sainsbury's Supermarket - a big change in the town centre. Now in 2024 we have even more supermarkets - how many does a town with a population of approximately 33,000 actually need. 

Driving through the Ford in Thornhill Beck Lane was not recommended on this day in 2003.... But as always there will be those that will try it and wonder why they get stuck in the middle and then have to be towed out.
