Upholland in 1907 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. The map covers the village of Upholl&, originally part of Wigan parish but today in West Lancashire. Coverage stretches from the village centre around St Thomas church, northward to St Joseph`s RC College at Walthew Park, & from the Abbey Lakes Hotel westward to the disused Windmill Colliery. This is largely a rural map but features include the village centre (now a Conservation area), Hall Green, Upholland Corn Mill, Holland House, Holland Windmill, Newgate, etc. On the reverse is a 1918 directory of Upholland & Orrell. About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS Series: Selected towns in Great Britain & Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th & early 20th century. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping & reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4, 340). On the reverse most maps have historical notes & many also include extracts from contemporary directories. Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one & a half miles (2.4kms) across; adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION & A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK.
