Manuscript Map LARGE OLD HAND DRAWN FOLDING RAILWAY MAP Showing the Railway Line from Adwick Upon Dearne to Ferrybridge in Yorkshire (Circa 1870s)

Descripción

Undated but possibly circa 1870s, this is a large old hand drawn map of the Railway line that ran from near the township of Adwick Upon Dearne in Yorkshire, the place names on the Map after that are Bolton Upon Dearne, Clayton, South & North Elmsall, South Kirkby, Badsworth, Ackworth, Pontefract, and finishing at Ferrybridge it appears to be the line proposed by the Swinton and Knottingley Joint Railway Company which I believe was opened in 1879 the map is mounted and divided into 20 panels and is over 70 inches in length and 10 inches high, part of the map folds out at an angle from the rest of the map as it follows the course of the railway line , the map is hand coloured and also has later handwritten annotations , it also records the ownership names of the pieces of land it passes through, like Earl Manvers, Sir T.H.S. Bunckman, Thomas Edward Taylor, Rev. John Allott, W.H. Leatham, &c I can see no date on the map, but it was produced at the time of the proposed construction of the line, which is stated on the map, the map folds down into black leather covers, the leather covers have general rubbing wear, scuffs and scrapes with a small bump mark in the centre of the upper cover, internally some general darkening and marking to the map with some surface edge wear, else in good general condition.
