Historical Site Map
The maps which follow provide an invaluable guide to the location of many of the places and operations of historical interest described elsewhere on this site. The maps show both the historical sites, and enduring landmarks around them and also cover the greater part of the locations of historical interest described on this site. For that reason they provide a link between what we see today, and places/operations of the past. They also reflect the very large amount of work involved in their collation and presentation by the late Ken McCarthy, an active local historian.
