I did Bert....so I'll put the East Map on hold...but I'm still sticking by the West Map, which I'm convinced is the 1929 Survey. As above, this map does not have the Palladium or the Technical School...

Replies: 40 Old Map of Accy - 1890(Wrong!) Views: 2,896 Posted By Tealeaf Re: Old Map of Accy - 1890(Wrong!) I'm convinced that the west section is indeed much later....certainly about 1923 (Because of Church Con Club being on the map)...however, the railway is marked Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, a title...

Views: 2,896 Posted By Tealeaf Re: Old Map of Accy - 1890(Wrong!) it's a bit of a shame that there is a big void in the middle of the map (possibly something went wrong when it was scanned)...but there is a whole area north of the old grammar school that is missing...

They had steam trams in the 1890's...the system was electrified in the 1900's...so you can't really tell from the map. They did'nt have the cinema in 1890, though....but possibly "theatre" refered...
