Here are the details of maps for Springburn:
We have published more than 2,500 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints; this includes more than a hundred in Scotland, with a growing range of maps around Glasgow. The maps are highly detailed. They are taken from the OS 1:2,500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. Each covers an area of a mile and a half by a mile. 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. Maps can be purchased on our On-line Mapshop where further information about titles is given. Or visit The Index Page for a full list to the series and details of Prices.
Here are the details of maps for Springburn:
We have published two versions of this detailed map showing how the area changed across the years.
The map is dominated by the North British Railway, which runs north-south through it. The 1910 version includes Eastfield engine sheds, Cowlairs Works, the Cowlairs Junctions, Possil Junction, and part of the Sighthill Branch with Springburn station. East of the railway we find Springburn itself, with Springburn Park, and Stobhill General Hospital is in the top right corner. West of the railway the map includes part of Possil Park, with Clydesdale Iron Works, Saracen Foundry, Keppoch Iron Works, Possil Iron Works. Tramways are also shown, with a tram depot on Hawthorn Street. The area is less built up on the 1893 version.
We include selections of street directory entries on both maps.
