Hartlepool in 1914 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 versions of this map are available, showing how the area developed across the years. Both maps are double-sided to provide maximum coverage. They cover the Headland area of Hartlepool
- the original town
- & coverage extends westward to include Victoria Dock, the Old Harbour, Throston Ward & Hartlepool Cemetery. The early 1857 edition covers the original town around St Hilda's church, Market Place, High Street, railway terminus, Friarage Close, Farwell Field, Trinity church, Victoria Dock, Tide Harbour, Hart Warren, Warren Cement Works, Milbank Forge, The Sleake, Warrenm Hall. West of the Tide Harbour there is little development, but Cleveland Road is shown built across an empty landscape. The 1914 map
- the year of Hartlepool's ' Bombardment'
- is far more developed. The Headland area is again shown in full, but west of that around Victoria Dock & what is now called Old Harbour are many railway & industrial developments including Fish Quay, Hartlepool Engine Works, station, engine sheds, Central Marine Engine Works, Central Shipbuilding Yard, Greenland Creosote Works, North Basin, Cemetery Battery, Fort Sanitary Hospital.
