THE latest in a series of maps of Bury at the start of the last century has been published. The 1908 plan of north west Bury includes Elton, Woolfold, Walshaw Lane (as was) and Tottington.
It shows cotton mills and associated bleach, dye and printing works, paper mills, reservoirs and the Tottington branch of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. And with a scale of 25 inches to one mile, streets, houses, pubs, tram lines and signal boxes are all clearly marked.
The map is published by Alan Godfrey Maps and is available at local bookshops or by telephoning 01207 583388.
