Springburn and Possilpark 1893

Springburn and Possilpark in 1893 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. Two versions have been published for this area. The map is dominated by the North British Railway, which runs north-south through it. The 1910 version includes Eastfield engine sheds, Cowlairs Works, the Cowlairs Junctions, Possil Junction, and part of the Sighthill Branch with Springburn station. East of the railway is Springburn itself with Springburn Park, and Stobhill General Hospital is in the top right corner. West of the railway the map covers part of Possil Park, with Clydesdale Iron Works, Saracen Foundry, Keppoch Iron Works, Possil Iron Works, etc. Tramways are also shown, with a tram depot on Hawthorn Street. The area is less built up on the 1893 version. Selections of street directory entries are on the reverse of both maps. 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.
