Hull (Queen's Dock) 1853

More about the book

Large Scale Map of Hull Queens Dock. Hull Sheet 8. Taken from the early 5' Plan and reduced to a yard to the mile. Introduction by Susan Neave. This wonderfully detailed map covers the area around and to the north of Queen's Dock, including Mason Street, Sykes Street, New George Street, Charter House, Kingston Square, Salthouse Lane, Great Union Street, part of Witham, North Bridge, Hodgson Street. Taken from an early engraved OS map it appears a little faint at first, but closer inspection finds a mass of detail, with courtyards named, and items such as timber yards, dry docks etc all shown - even details such as cranes and mooring posts - albeit for a relatively small area.
