Carrington in 1904 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 an area west of Manchester on the River Mersey & although it is a Lancashire sheet, most coverage is of the Cheshire side of the river. The main feature is the Cheshire village of Carrington, including Windmill Inn, Carrington Hall Farm, Holly Farm, Stamford Farm & Dainewell Farm. Further west are Boothhey Farm, St George`s church & (bottom left corner of map) Landfield Farm. A section of the Manchester Ship Canal is in the top left corner, including Carrington Wharf, with a tramway running across the map carrying sewage. About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS Series: 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. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping & reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4, 340). On the reverse most maps have historical notes & many also include extracts from contemporary directories. Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one & a half miles (2.4kms) across; adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION & A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK.
