These maps are highly detailed. They are taken from the OS 1:2,500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. Each covers an area of a mile and a half by a mile. They show streets with individual houses, tram tracks, railway tracks and even signals, factories, wharves and such details as fountains and water troughs. They will provide hours of fascination for historians and genealogists. The maps are neatly folded and each includes a specially written introduction to the area.

Part of our extensive coverage of The Potteries, this detailed map covers the southern part of Stoke upon Trent itself, with coverage stretching from St Peter's church southward to Oak Hill, and from Queen's Road eastward to Regent Road. Features include North Staffordshire Railway with Stoke Junction, NSR Engineering Works and engine sheds; Mount Pleasant area with St Paul's church; California Works, Colonial Pottery, Trent & Mersey Canal, gas works, football ground, tramways and depot, St Peter's church, tileries, Newcastle under Lyme Canal, Oakhill Hall, Boothen area with All Saints church, Boothen Farm, earthenware works, Market Hall, Manor House, Stokeville area, Penkhull area and St Thomas church, Holly Bank, etc. For many the Minton works on London Road will be of especial interest.
