Old Map of Liverpool 1785 by Surveyed by Charles Eyes
This most impressive reproduction map has been completely art worked in full colour from the very rare antique original, large, black and white, detailed plan of Liverpool published by Charles Eyes. The map is a truly local publication as it was also engraved in Liverpool - by Thomas Condor. It has been painstakingly reproduced and shows the green hedgerows of lands not yet built upon, and for each shows the names of the respective landowners, which makes this work a treasure trove to those researching family history, genealogists and those keen on the history of Liverpool. All docks are named, roads and streets, important buildings as well as the occasional windmill. Some of these landownerAEs names were given to some of the streets that rapidly spread out into the rural aspects of the time, for example Bold Street has recently been cut, yet the plan still shows the adjacent land owned by oMr Boldo

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning reproduction of the "Old Map of Liverpool 1785" by Charles Eyes is a true gem for history enthusiasts and genealogists alike. The map, originally published in large black and white format, has been meticulously art worked in full color to bring out its intricate details. Surveyed and engraved right here in Liverpool by Charles Eyes and Thomas Condor respectively, this local publication provides an authentic glimpse into the city's past. It showcases the green hedgerows that once covered lands yet to be developed, with each plot labeled with the names of its respective landowners. This feature makes it an invaluable resource for those researching family history or delving into genealogy. The map not only highlights all docks but also identifies roads, streets, important buildings, and even windmills scattered across Liverpool at that time. Interestingly enough, some of these landowners' names were later given to streets that rapidly expanded into what we now know as Bold Street - adjacent to Mr. Boldo's owned land. For anyone curious about Liverpool's rich history or seeking a connection to their ancestors who once called this city home, this historic map is a treasure trove worth exploring. Immerse yourself in the past as you trace the footsteps of those who walked these streets centuries ago through this piece of cartographic artistry.
