Medlock Valley History

This section contains history about the Medlock Valley area:

• The history of the heavy industry that used to dominate the area.
• Information about the 'Great Flood' that caused widespread destruction along the Medlock in 1872.

The Philips Park section of this website also has its own history section, with a wealth of information about the park - one of the first muncipal parks in the world.

The interactive section of this website has a map viewer which allows you to compare historic maps, contemporary maps and aerial photography of this area (under development), and an interactive, graphic version of the Medlock Valley timeline.
