Old South advanced as a suburb of London during the second half of the nineteenth century, integrating with the city in 1870. In spite of the rapid growth the city has experienced in recent decades, the area which spans from Wellington Road to Wharncliffe Road and from Commissioners Road to the Thames River is recognized as Old South; the section of Wortley Road near the corners of Craig and Bruce Streets as Wortley Village.

Wortley Village has always been the traditional focal point of the Old South community. The unique village ambiance associated with Wortley Road is the result of a century of change and adaptation.

Be sure to take some time to embark on a historical walk of this beautiful community.
