Ordnance Survey Map of Goole, c. 1890

Introduction
A number of old maps have come to our attention which do provide an insight into the layout of a location at some time in the past. While the technical restrictions of our website mean that we cannot fully emulate the experience you would get from viewing the original paper copy, probably with the aid of a magnifying glass, we have decided to include these digitised images in our collection.
The location of the original paper copy is indicated so that you would have the opportunity to view that should you so wish.
Publication permission for copyright images
We acknowledge that copyright images are being shown for which no explicit permission to publish has been given to this Society. Many of the digital images shown had originally been produced with the knowledge and permission of the now defunct Yorkshire Waterways Museum from original photographs deposited there for public display. Following the closure of that organisation in 2019 and the break up of their collection those original photographs have disappeared and have effectively been lost to the public.
Through an incredible stroke of good fortune digital copies of those images were donated to this Society in 2022 allowing our volunteers to finally achieve the wishes of those photographers and collectors who had made the original donations.
