*New Map!* #Loftus (West) 1927 www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk/yorks01803.htm Today’s image is a ‘miner’ spoiler of our much bigger & more intriguing #map. The wider view shows that the North East wasn’t just heavy industry, it was people & countryside, cinemas and sport, fishing and woodlands. 1/
The villages and towns of #Redcar & #Cleveland are historically linked to mining, mainly Ironstone & Alum. When those industries left, the area was soon linked with decline - a tragedy as the area is a beautiful one, filled with warm & hospitable people, pretty villages and a stunning coastline. /2
