Manchester: Chorlton-on-Medlock 1848

The maps provide an unrivalled, house-by-house picture of streets and individual buildings with inner courtyards, outbuildings, pavements, covered passages, etc. Many important institutions are named; within the National Galley on Trafalgar Square even the individual rooms (the map is from 1871, so no French Impressionists as yet!).On the reverse are historical notes about the area covered by the map, plus extracts from contemporary street directories.These maps provide a fascinating addition to Alan Godfrey’™s huge series of some 2,000 titles presenting reproductions of street plans at taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping at 1:2,500 (25″ to 1 mile) and reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4,340).
