Alan Godfrey Maps Hartlepool & East Durham 1913 (Inch To The Mile Sheet 27) - Old OS Maps

An essential map for anyone interested in the history of County Durham.

Several long closed or mothballed railways are shown: the Hartlepool-Ferryhill branch, the Stockton & Castle Eden branch, the Durham & Sunderland branch, the Sunderland & Hartlepool branch. There are also numerous colliery villages with their mineral lines. On the reverse is a detailed map of Trimdon village. It is not possible to list the many hamlets, farmsteads and other topographical features shown on these maps. However, you may find it useful if we list the towns and principal villages or church parishes that are included on this map.Durham: Bishop Middleham, Brierton, Butterwick & Oldacres, Castle Eden, Chilton, Cold Hesledon, Cornforth, Coxhoe, Dalton Piercy, Durham, Easington Lane, Easington with Thorpe, Elwick, Embleton

There are parts of 5 counties on this map: Cumberland and Durham are the principal constituents, but there are also sections of Northumberland and Westmorland and, at the foot, a tiny fragment of Yorkshire. The author Robert Forsythe describes it as at the core of the Pennines, and with upper Weardale running through it, thisis a dramatic landscape. Coverage stretches from Alston eastward to Eastgate, and southward to Widdybank Fell. On the reverse is a map of Bolt's Burn, topday better known as Rookhope, and a feature of both maps is the group of remarkable railways that ran here. It is not possible to list the many hamlets, farmsteads and other topographical features shown on these maps. However, you may find it useful if we list the towns and principal villages or church parishes that are included on this map.Cumberland: Alston, Garrigill, Nenthead.
