Wellingborough, Rushden & District 1897 One Inch Sheet 186 by Barrie Trinder
Here is information about Sheet 186: One Inch Sheet 186 Wellingborough, Rushden & District 1897 – published 2000; intro by Barrie Trinder. ISBN.978-1-84151-201-3This One Inch to the Mile map portrays an area of east Northamptonshire and north Bedfordshire, centred on Higham Ferrers. Wellingborough is the principal town on the map but interestingly the OS give town status to Higham Ferrers and – further east – Kimbolton, but not to Rushden. Coverage of the map stretches from Cogenhoe eastward to Kimbolton, and from Woodford and Denford southward to Castle Ashby. Railways, apart from the Midland line, include the Northampton & Peterborough Branch and Kettering & Huntingdon Branch. There is plentiful evidence of iron ore extraction. On the reverse we include a map of Finedon, with a commercial directory. It is not possible to list the many hamlets, farmsteads and other topographical features shown on these maps. However, you may find it useful if we list the towns and principal villages or church parishes that are included on this map. Links are given for those for which detailed large-scale maps are also available.
