EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a County Map of County Durham, dating back to approximately 1777. A true relic from The Large English Atlas: or, a new set of maps of all the counties of England and Wales, this piece was meticulously drawn from various surveys published at that time. Created by esteemed cartographers Emanuel Bowen, Thomas Kitchin, and others, this antique map offers an intriguing glimpse into the past. The map encompasses the diverse regions within County Durham, including notable towns such as Darlington, Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham, Peterlee, Newton Aycliffe, Bishop Auckland, Consett, Chester-le-Street Seaham Stanley Spennymoor Crook. Each town is intricately depicted with its unique landmarks and features. Preserved in Sheffield Libraries' collection (912 STF), this historical gem sheds light on the geographical layout during that era. It serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication put forth by these renowned cartographers. As we admire this remarkable artifact today at Sheffield City Archives' exhibition space or through this print reproduction (not for commercial use), let us appreciate how it connects us to our ancestors' lives and their understanding of their surroundings. This county map stands as a tangible link between past and present—a visual representation of County Durham's rich history waiting to be explored.
