However, much of the map is taken up with the extraordinary industrial complex of ICI – Imperial Chemical Industries – which ran east from Chiltons Avenue. Billingham by 1939 was very much a company town. Also included is a historical introduction to Billingham from a 1894 map and a directory of the town in 1934.About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25″ OS Series:Selected towns in Great Britain and Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th and early 20th century.
