Grimsby North in 1906 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 of Grimsby North is dominated by the Alexandra Dock which is in the centre, with residential areas to both sides. Corporation Bridge, which opened in 1873 & was replaced by the present structure in 1928, provides the walkway over the dock. Areas of interest include West Marsh Paper Mills, the Royal Dock, Pyewipe Brick & Tile Works, GCR railway lines with Docks Station, malthouses, Brickpit Coal Sidings. Coverage stretches from South Parade & East Marsh Street northward, & from Albion Street westward to Werst Marsh. The River Freshney runs across the bottom left of the map, travelling past Grimsby & District Hospital. Going north through the map is the GCR's Great Coates Branch Railway line. On the reverse are street directory entries for Annesley Street, Ayscough Street, Church Street, Corporation Street, Freeman Street, Garibaldi Street & Wellington Street.
