Old Ordnance Survey Maps of The Potteries and Newcastle


The maps of the Potteries and Newcastle (which, of course, is always considered separate) have been a great success; and no wonder, for their rich industrial townscape of potteries, collieries, steelworks, railways and, of course, distinct townships makes for busy and fascinating maps. We shall be adding to the group. Each map includes an introduction to the history of the area, and where possible we include extracts from an early directory. Further information about individual maps is given on our On-line Mapshop.
