Blackpool North Shore 1910-1938
Blackpool North Shore in 1910 and 1938 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. This title has two detailed maps side by side: one for 1910, the other for 1938, a fascinating opportunity to see how the area developed. Coverage runs from Claremont Park (where the Hilton Hotel is today) northward to Lowther Avenue, and from the coast inland to Devonshire Road. On the earlier map development is still taking place although features include the tramways (still two systems at the time), Gynn Inn and Uncle Tom`s Cabin By 1938 features include the Derby Baths, Savoy Hotel, Cliffs Hotel, Boating Pool, and much more housing development. By this time the
Bispham area has become part of Blackpool. On the reverse is a good 1934 street directory, listing the inhabitants for Claremont Road, Cornwall Avenue, Holmfield Road, King Edward Avenue, Queen`s Drive, Warbreck Hill Road, Warley Road and Westminster Road. 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.
