Hull (Queens Dock) 1853

Description

Dated 1853. Sheet 08. Early Large Scale Maps. This 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 and 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. This map links up with maps Hull Prospect St to the west and Hull (Old Town) to the south.
