NEWTOWN 1902 - Old Ordnance Survey Map reprint

[RichardHC]

Newtown / Y Drenewydd 1902 (Montgomeryshire 36.15): Old Ordnance Survey Map

This detailed map is double-sided to give maximum coverage of this mid Wales town, and has an historical introduction, in both Welsh and English, by G G Evans. The main map covers the heart of the town, on the River Severn, and coverage extends across the river to the village of Llanllwchaiarn. Features include the Shropshire Union Canal with Basin, Cambrian Mill, Kymric Mill, Tannery, Newtown Saw Mills, Newtown Hall, St Mary's church, station, Royal Welsh Warehouse, Long Bridge, Pen-y-Glodfa, St Llwchaiarn's church Llanllwchaiarn (near NE corner), Broad Street and the crowded little passageways off it, Pont Bryn-fedw. On the reverse is a portion of sheet 43.03, taking coverage further south to include more of the station area with Severn Valley Mill, sawmills etc.

This map, first reprinted in 1992, has also been out of print for a long time so Alan Godfrey maps thought they should bring it back into their title range. The map is double-sided for maximum coverage and includes an introduction, in Welsh and English, by G G Evans. If there is sufficient interest they will consider bringing their Welshpool and Rhayader maps back into print too.
