Meadowfield 1897

Meadowfield 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 a colliery area south-west of the Durham. Three collieries are shown, each with its coke ovens: Littleburn Colliery stands alongside the NER main line which runs down the eastern part of the map. A short spur leads to Brownhey Colliery. To the west the large Brandon Colliery, with A, B and C Pits, stands alongside the NER Bishop Auckland Branch. Part of the pit villages of Brandon Colliery and Littleburn are also shown (they continue north onto the Langley Moor map) and two small villages are shown complete: Meadowfield, on the main road with its St John`s church, and Browney Colliery village which had three chapels next to each other. On the reverse is the Brandon Parish entry from an 1894 directory. 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.
