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. 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: 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
