Hartlepool 1914 – 37.07c

Hartlepool in 1914 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. Two versions of this map have been published, showing how the area developed across the years. Both maps are double-sided to provide maximum coverage. They cover the Headland area of Hartlepool – the original town – extendin westward to include Victoria Dock, the Old Harbour, Throston Ward and Hartlepool Cemetery. The early 1857 edition covers the original town around St Hilda`s church, Market Place, High Street, railway terminus, Friarage Close, Farwell Field, Trinity church, Victoria Dock, Tide Harbour, Hart Warren, Warren Cement Works, Milbank Forge, The Sleake, Warrenm Hall, etc. West of the Tide Harbour there is little development, but Cleveland Road is shown built across an empty landscape. The 1914 map – the year of Hartlepool`s `Bombardment` – is far more developed. The Headland area is again shown in full, but west of that around Victoria Dock and what is now called Old Harbour are many railway and industrial developments including Fish Quay, Hartlepool Engine Works, station, engine sheds, Central Marine Engine Works, Central Shipbuilding Yard, Greenland Creosote Works, North Basin, Cemetery Battery and Fort Sanitary Hospital.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.
