Healey, Ossett history

---

The River Calder was forded west of Healey by the Romans, and a ferry operated near to Healey New Mill. By 1854 there were three separate mills and “The Millers Arms Inn” in the close area. The original houses in Healey and on Healey Road were built in the late Victorian era. In the 1960s the conversion of the sidings east of the Healey into a modernised railway shunting yard brought major changes.

Healey Mills sidings

By 1920 extensive railway sidings had been developed on the railway line east-southeast of Healey, named Healey Mill Sidings. In the 1960s, as part of a modernisation plan, the sidings were re-designed for more efficient wagon load handling. Construction included cutting a new channel over 1,000 yards long for the River Calder south of the original, levelling of the site with over 1 million cubic yards of infill.
