This map says 'Revision of 1927 with additions in 1938'
'Printed on War Substitute Paper'
It shows that Hawkley Colliery Explosives Ltd. had doubled in size since the previous map.

The quality of the image was a bit disappointing but is much better if you click to enlarge it!

John and Cathy, I was brought up on St Paul's Ave and was always up to mischief around the Hawkley/Scotsmans Flash area. I even delivered papers at Hawkley Hall when I was around 14yrs old. These maps are great and I have really enjoyed studying them and reminiscing. Thanks again.
