Blackpool North Shore in 1910 & 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. Selected towns in Great Britain & Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th & early 20th century. In this title: 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, & 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 & Uncle Tom's Cabin By 1938 features include the Derby Baths, Savoy Hotel, Cliffs Hotel, Boating Pool, & much more housing development. By this time the Bispham area has become part of Blackpool.
