Silloth and Port Carlisle 1923

Silloth and Port Carlisle in 1923 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 port and resort of Silloth, created in the mid-19th century. The railway opened in 1856 to serve a new Cumbrian port, with a steam packet to Liverpool, and a resort quickly followed. A new dock was built in 1885, after the first one had suddenly collapsed. The map covers the town and dock, including the Marshall Dock, New Dock, railway station and sidings, Convalescent Institution, pier, Christ Church, Criffel Street and handful of streets leading off it, The Green, West Silloth, etc. On the reverse is a large section of sheet 15.05 covering the earlier port town of Port Carlisle, where a seagoing canal was opened in the 1820s. This was later replaced by a railway, with an initial steam train service which became horse drawn until the 20th century. The map shows most of this tiny village including its station. 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.
