In the top left corner of the map, we can identify various landmarks such as the River Don, Clifton Hotel Public House, Wood Street, Lime Street, and Bertha Street. Moving further along, our eyes are drawn to notable streets like Thirza Street and Gertrude Street. The presence of Langsett Road and a tramway adds to the charm of this vintage depiction. The top right section reveals more intriguing elements including West Don Place and Toledo Steel Works by John Henry Andrew and Company. Neepsend Gas Works with its towering gasometer also finds its place on this historical document alongside Victoria Hotel Public House and Parkwood Road. As we shift our focus towards the bottom left portion of the map, Langsett Road once again takes center stage accompanied by Barrack Lane and Balaclava Road. Noteworthy establishments like Strong Arm Brewery make their mark here too while Robert Street Wesleyan Reform Chapel stands proudly as a religious landmark.
