Langley Moor and Brandon Colliery 1897

Langley Moor and Brandon Colliery in 1897 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. The map covers the pit villages of Langley Moor and Brandon Colliery. The NER main line, Bishop Auckland Branch and Dearness Valley Branch all run through the map – the latter two are now cycle-ways and paths. The two villages are shown in detail, with houses, outhouses etc., though their collieries are off this map (see the Meadowfield map). At the north of the map is Broompark Colliery, the disused Boyne Colliery and Brandon Colliery coke ovens. The map extends eastward to Langley Grove and Stonebridge Mill. On the reverse is an extract from the 1915 revision of the map, showing the development of the two pit villages; a new Pithouse Wagonway has been opened from Brandon Junction.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.
