Co Down Sheet 4.08 Sydenham & Strandtown 1902 – published 1999; intro by John Griffiths.

This detailed map will delight all who are interested in industrial archaeology for it is dominated by steel and iron works. On the north side are South Bank Iron Works, several Slag Works, disused salt works, a Slag Reduction Works, Eston Sheet & Galvanizing Works, and River Tees Dockyard with dry docks.

This detailed map covers the small town of Eston, with coverage extending eastward to Eston Nab, Eston Beacon and Lackenby Bank. The town in 1927 was very small and includes Old Eston, South Eston and California.

To provide maximum coverage of this area we have used both the Northumberland and Durham sheets for Wylam, which stands on the border between the two counties. Our main map is from the Durham series and coverage stretches from Wylkam village eastward to the pit village of Clara Vale.
