Old Map of Liverpool 1785 by Surveyed by Charles Eyes

This most impressive reproduction map has been completely art worked in full colour from the very rare antique original, large, black and white, detailed plan of Liverpool published by Charles Eyes. The map is a truly local publication as it was also engraved in Liverpool - by Thomas Condor. It has been painstakingly reproduced and shows the green hedgerows of lands not yet built upon, and for each shows the names of the respective landowners, which makes this work a treasure trove to those researching family history, genealogists and those keen on the history of Liverpool. All docks are named, roads and streets, important buildings as well as the occasional windmill. Some of these landownerAEs names were given to some of the streets that rapidly spread out into the rural aspects of the time, for example Bold Street has recently been cut, yet the plan still shows the adjacent land owned by oMr Boldo
