Description

Dated 1895. Sheet 79. 1in to mile This One Inch to the Mile map shows the upper Humberhead levels, where the waters of the Pennines come together, finding their way towards the North Sea. Coverage stretches from Hambleton and Askern eastward to Ousefleet and Gilberdike, from Crowle northward to Wressell.
