2. Historic Maps

Estate Maps
Estate maps are often the earliest cartographic sources available. We have copies of maps for the following estates:

Acklam 1716
Cowpen (Bewley) 1774
Hart 1770
Kirkleatham 1774
Marton and Tollesby 1804
Newton (Bewley) 1774
Skelton 1773
Stainsby 1759

Tithe Maps
Dating from the 1840s these were the first comprehensive set of maps for the area. We hold copies of the maps for the parishes of:

Hartlepool Parishes: Dalton Piercy, Elwick, Hart, Throston

Middlesbrough Parishes: Acklam, Hemlington, Marton, Stainton

Redcar & Cleveland Parishes: Lofthouse (Loftus), Morton (near Nunthorpe), Ormesby, Pinchinthorpe, Skelton, Upsall

Stockton-on-Tees Parishes: Egglescliffe (extract), Elton, Hilton, Ingleby Barwick, Longnewton, Maltby, Norton (extract), Thornaby, Thorpe Thewles, Yarm (extract)

Original copies of these and other maps with apportionments can usually be found in local archives.

Ordnance Survey Maps
We hold a complete set of First Edition 6 inch to the mile maps for Teesside. These were surveyed in the early to mid 1850s and give a tantalising glimpse of Teesside on the brink of industrialisation. We have more limited cover for later mapping epochs.
