They show streets with individual houses, tram tracks, railway tracks and even signals, factories, wharves and such details as fountains and water troughs. They will provide hours of fascination for historians and genealogists. The maps are neatly folded and each includes a specially written introduction to the area.

Coverage stretches from South Parade and East Marsh Street northward, and from Albion Street westward to Werst Marsh.
