Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Dorset

This splendid map covers the town of Poole, important enough to be granted the status of a county in its own right by Elizabeth I, and celebrated by Defoe and others as a major port. Our map captures the historic old centre, spread out around High Street, Market Street, Hunger Hill and West Street, with all its crowded buildings (all shown individually, of course, on this detailed map). Features include the railway station (near the top of the map), the tramway running round to The Quay, Poole Pottery, Custom House, landing stages, timber yards, Poole Brewery, malthouses, Fish Shambles, St James's church, Cornelia Hospital, Dolphin Brewery, and numerous narrow alleyways. Across Poole Bridge is Lower Hamworthy, and here we have the Battery, Hamworthy station and lines to the wharves, Ultramarine Manufactory, Architectural Pottery. St Michael's church is in the top left corner.
