Sandwell Hall 1902
Sandwell Hall in 1902 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 is dominated by Sandwell Hall which is near the centre. Features include Sandwell Park, Pleasure Pool, Hilltop Farm, Sandwell Saw Mill, Sandwell Park Colliery, etc. On the reverse is a large section of the later 1913 revision of the map. This shows more development at Sandwell Park Colliery (Diamond Jubilee Pit), which now has a tramway running right across the map. Part of Handsworth Cemetery is also now shown. 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.
