Higher Blackley 1915
Higher Blackley in 1915 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 what was still a semi-rural area north of Manchester, stretching along the Rochdale Road and Manchester New Road, and westward to Higher Blackley. A distinct community at Crab Lane is shown, with St Andrew`s church, Fox Hole Farm, Fox Holes, Plane Trees and other outlying farms. Streets are being developed along the newly built Victoria Avenue and other features include Convent of the Good Shepherd (at top of map), Alkrington Colliery (disused), Plant Hill, tramways, Blackley Rectory, Blackley Steel Works, Pike Fold Cottages, etc. On the reverse are extracts from
a 1917 street directory, including Chapel Lane, Crab Lane, Heaton Park Road, Nelson Road and Victoria Avenue.About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS Series:Selected towns in Great Britain and Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th and early 20th century. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping and reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4, 340). On the reverse most maps have historical notes and many also include extracts from contemporary directories. Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one and a half miles (2.4kms) across; adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION AND A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES
