1890-Accrington Town Map
These are two excellent Maps that can be downloaded, use "Zoom" facility for close up of streets.
Open in full screen for best effect. http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/environ...cc/acceast.jpg http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/environ...cc/accwest.jpg The website link for other maps. http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/environment/oldmap/ Last edited by accybill; 07-11-2009 at 17:02. |

If you open the photos and right click, you can save to PC.
Ideal town plans for checking family addresses against early Census returns for those into Geneology. Many of the streets are now long gone. |

Re: 1890-Accrington Town Map

Re: 1890-Accrington Town Map
Have to hand it to you Retlaw! You're a good un'. I well remember the patience you had when you went to the trouble of first of all tracing that lovely old map, then spending hour after hour after hour making it "come alive", then colouring it in.
Well done! Last edited by Atarah; 10-11-2009 at 16:10. |
