Nashua's Canal Street is the muddy, messy-looking road depicted in this old black and white photo, which the photographer captured from a vantage point looking west from just west of the bridge where Canal Street becomes Bridge Street. The large, brick buildings lining the right side of the street were initially homes occupied by executives and officers of Nashua Manufacturing Company, which, in addition to the giant mill buildings in the city's Millyard, also occupied a several-story, long mill building across Canal Street from the homes that came to be known as the Jackson Mills. Most of it survives today as one of BAE Systems' Nashua locations.
