Lobley Hill & Low Streetgate 1895

This detailed map covers a largely rural area around and to the west of Lobley Hill, stretching to Low Streetgate and Broom Lane. Features include a stretch of the Tanfield Railway, Marshall Lands, Fugar Bar, Marquis of Granby pub, Washingwell Wood, Ponticherry, Trench Hall, Whickham Hill. Though apparently rural, earlier industry is seldom far from the surface. On the reverse we include an extract from the 1st edition map of 1856.
