Housing on Shaftesbury Drive
This housing estate has no direct vehicle access across the nearby railway to reach the centre of Heywood. The residents have quite a drive to the nearest crossing.
Entrance to Broadfield Business Park
Off Pilsworth Road. There is a public bridleway (by the side of the gatehouse) behind the security fencing - not that you would recognise it.

This range may have been the stable block, now occupied by various small businesses.
The former Phoenix Brewery, Heywood â 3
Terracotta date plaque on the stable block. The whole set of brewery buildings appears to date from 1899, although the 1894 6-inch mapping shows buildings with a similar footprint already in existence.

The brewing tower, now out of use except as a support for communications transmitters.
The former Phoenix Brewery, Heywood â 5
The main brewery yard. The brewery closed in around 1960, but the 'Oak Brewing Company' of Ellesmere Port relocated here in 1991 and became Phoenix Brewing Ltd in 1996. It occupies the former maltings and office buildings and doesn't not 'replicate' the original brewery.
