Newcastle Central 1940

We have published three versions of this map to show how the area has changed over the years. This is a very busy map, with coverage stretching from Clayton Road in the north to Corporation Street in the south, eastwards to Sandyford Road and Portland Road, and westward to Darnell Street. Features on the map include Her Majesty's Prison, Natural History Museum, Artillery Barracks, Brandling Park, Eldon Square, Hay Market, Durham College of Science, St Thomas the Martyr's Church, NER railway line and Manors Station and Portland Park. On the reverse of each map we include extracts from early street directories.

Reduced from the original Ordnance Survey 1:2,500 map to a scale of approximately 1:4,340 (or about 15" to the mile). This edition published by Alan Godfrey Maps, Leadgate, Consett
