Conisbrough 1901

Conisbrough in 1901 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 historic town of Conisbrough with its great castle, which inspired Walter Scott`s novel Ivanhoe. Most of the town is covered, including the castle itself, St Peter`s church, Burcroft, New Hill and (on a small backing map extending coverage south) Holywell Hill, Lime Grove and Holywell Brewery. The main map extends west to Denaby Main village, including All Saints church and the eastern part of Denaby Main Colliery (the rest is on sheet 284.09). The GCR Barnsley to Barnetby line runs through the map, with Conisbrough station and sidings to Providence Glass Works. Near to it is the Denaby terminus of the South Yorkshire Junction Railway. 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. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping and reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4,340). On the reverse most maps have historical notes and many also include extracts from contemporary directories. Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one and a half miles (2.4kms) across; adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION AND A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK.
