Monkwearmouth And Southwick 1895

Coverage stretches from Southwick eastward to the coast. Features include Holy Trinity church Southwick, The Green, High Southwick, Low Southwick, Cornhill Dock, Deptford Yard (on the south side of the river), Carley Hill Farm, Carley Hill Wagonway, Sunderland`s Newcastle Road football ground (the club had not yet moved to Roker), Wearmouth Colliery, Monkwearmouth Iron & Steel Works, Wearmouth Foundry, Wear Hemp &
Wire Rope Works, tramways, etc. Railways include the NER`s Newcastle & Sunderland line (though Monkwearmouth station is south of this map), North Dock Branch and Hylton Southwick & Monkwearmouth Branch. The map on the reverse - sheet 8.11 - continues coverage eastward and covers the coastal area including North Dock, Harbour Entrance, lighthouses, Roker Pier, Roker Park, Roker Hotel, South Pier and Coastguard station.About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS Series:Selected towns in Great Britain and Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th and early 20th century. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping and reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4, 340). On the reverse most maps have
historical notes and many also include extracts from contemporary directories. Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one and a half miles (2.4kms) across; adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION AND A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK.
