The map, with Yorkshire sheet number 294.4.14, offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's past. In the top left corner of the map, we can see Meadow Head, possibly a house or landmark at that time. Adjacent to it is Carwood Lane and a noteworthy addition made in pencil: Carwood Terrace. Moving to the top right section, our eyes are drawn to a Recreation Ground where locals likely gathered for leisurely activities. The bottom left portion reveals several streets and residential areas such as Hallcar Terrace, Housleys Row, Petre Street, Jamaica Street, and Canada Street. Notably mentioned is a Mission Hall (Gospel Union) which served as an important religious center during that era; interestingly enough Whites directory of 1896 lists Salvation Army Rooms on Canada Street.
