Rowlands Gill 1895

Rowlands Gill in 1895 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 village of Rowlands Gill, today at the southern end of Gateshead Borough. In 1895 this was scarcely a village – there was little here other than a row of houses, a station on the NER Consett Branch and the Towneley Arms. To the north is the Lily Drift mine. The River Derwent meanders through the map and to the east is Gibside with its grounds and mausoleum chapel, by James Paine. The map stretches east to Gibside Hill Head. On the reverse is part of sheet 5.12, extending coverage west to Victoria Garesfield and its colliery, with the Victoria Garesfield Colliery 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.
