Lyme Regis 1903

Lyme Regis in 1903 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. Coverage extends west across the county boundary at Devonshire Head to Furze Close and Ware House. The map includes the harbour and famous Cobb, scene of episodes in Jane Austen`s Persuasion and John Fowles`s The French Lieutenant`s Woman. Other features include St Michael`s church, Guildhall, Broad Street, Coombe Street, disused cloth and silk mills, Jericho, Hatchet, Sidmouth Road, Lucy`s Ledge, Poulett House, Assembly Rooms, jetties, cement works, Chippel Bay, Cobb Gate Beach and Lower Ware. The railway station is at the top of the map. Within the old Ordnance Survey County Series the sheetlines for the Devon series covered Lyme Regis more neatly than did those for Dorset, which explains why Alan Godfrey Editions have used a Devon map and numbering. On the back is a 1911 directory for Lyme Regis, listing tradesmen, councillors etc.About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25″ OS SeriesSelected 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.
