Re: Old Map of Accy - 1890(Wrong!)

Have done a bit more investigations but without my reference books I can't get any reliable dates (my head is empty at this time). I think that the E. Accy and W. Accy maps are from 2 different dates. Some of the reasons (also reliably dated) could be:

Trams up to Ossy.
Tram lines to Blackburn from Church
No Broadway
No Oak Hill Park
The Hippodrome wasn't there
Theatre on Edgar St., but no Cinemas
Nothing built above Perth St.
Part of Countess St. not finished (Opposite Persia St. etc)
No Charter St. on the E Accy Map, but it's on the W Accy Map (the block on Charter Street W, Accy map was built about 1906, I know as my Mother-in-law was born there in 1912). So the E. Accy map is at least the begining of the 20th Century!
Exchange St. ends at Fairfield St.

I note the horse water trough on Wollows Lane.....Could do with a drink myself!!
