Tintagel 1905
Tintagel in 1905 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 is double-sided; the main map covers the village of Tintagel, previously called Trevena. In 1820 the village was described as having houses ”laid out in a regular street, but they are in general detached buildings, very mean, and many of them falling into a state of decay”. Trevena village was already referred to as `Tintagel Town` and as a ”wild-looking place”. The map covers this village, including the outlying hamlets of Treven and, at foot of map, Trewithen; St Materiana`s church is outside the village. Other features include King Arthur`s Castle Hotel, Tintagel Head,
Dunderhole Point, Higher Penhallic Point, Long Grass Quarry, King Arthur`s Castle, and The Island with ruins of St Juletta`s chapel. On the reverse is much of adjacent sheet 10.09, which covers the coastal area of Tingael Haven, Barras Nose, Smith`s Cliff, Willapark and The Sisters rocks. The connections with King Arthur and King Mark give Tintagel especial appeal and the history of the place is explored in the introduction by Tom Greeves.About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS SeriesSelected 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 LINK.
