Alan Godfrey Maps New Quay 1904 (Cardinganshire Sheet 24.01) - Old OS Maps

This detailed map covers the small Cardiganshire resort and harbour of New Quay. Features include the harbour, New Quay Head, the streets and houses of the town centre, St Llwchaiarn's church, Towyn Chapel, and many outlying houses. Coverage extends a mile west to the coast of Craig Grogal. New Quay is a small town and in 1901 its population was just 1, 234. It had already begun to decline as a port and Alan Leather's introduction gives a good portrait of its history. Also includes a 1906 directory of the town, making this an essential title for anyone interested in the history of New Quay.

Coverage stretches from Llanybyther eastward to Pen y Gurnos, and from Tregaron southward to Dolaucothy. The'Manchester & Milford Section' railway runs through the map, while to the east is a more remote, wilder area, the Cambrian Mountains, described by Alan Leather as "one of the few true places of solitude left to us, with red kites and buzzards sweeping over a bare land of rock, rough grasses, black lakes, bogs and crystal streams". On the reverse is an extract from Cardiganshire Sheet 27.01 and this shows the little town of Tregaron in more detail. It is not possible to list the many hamlets, farmsteads and other topographical features shown on these maps.
