Accrington Web - View Single Post - Old Map of Accy

Bert made a posting today - a piccy "Arden View 1909 " of which the emerging concensus appears to be that it ison the gardened terrace on Plantation Street....Sure enough, our map (above) has the very same terrace on there..19 years before they were built.

I think I've cracked it now. The map is a 1:2500 scale first surveyed in 1890; there was a subesequent re-survey in 1909, and another one in 1929. The map of Accrington (East) is the 1909 resurvey (published 1911) while the map of Accy (West) and Church is actually the 1929 resurvey (published 1931).....in the time scale, quite a few years from 1890!
