I have selected interesting, old 18th, 19th, and early 20th century graphic images for digital restoration and editing. The images were then adjusted and brightened to make the images suitable for display and other purposes. The resulting image brings out many details and landmarks, making this map a great historical reference and conversation piece. © 2022 for this restored reproduction.

Map by Harry Freese. Date estimated from population figures shown. HUGE, pre-interstate county road map; US 40 across northern Nevada was replaced in stages by Interstate 80 during the 1960s and 70s. Nevada has always been sparsely populated, with only two major metro areas. During the last few decades, the Elko area of northeastern Nevada has begin to grow rather rapidly - Elko's population is closing in on 20,000, making it the largest Nevada city outside of the Las Vegas or Reno-Sparks-Carson City metro areas.
Map by H M Gousha. The greatest city in the world? If I could afford it, and didn't have this pesky cancer thing hanging around, I'd live there in a heartbeat.
Showing the terminus of the Kendon Colliery tramroad with the Crumlin canal at the canal basin just south of present day Abercarn together with the Hall's Tramroad which proceeded south to link up with the Sirhowy tramroad.
It surprises me that such a long tramroad was chosen instead of an inclined plane from the colliery down to the canal head at Crumlin.
An interesting document has recently come to my notice - the weighing machine records "of the Pontywayne machine" - obviously an English operator! - details for the month of August 1854 :-
Sir Thos. Phillips - Mamhole (sic) colliery 1900 tons 16 cwt. (Manmoel)
Messrs. Latch & Co. - Barcella colliery - 504 tons 5cwt. large; 502 tons small; 91 tons 14cwt. coke.
Mr. Cartwright - Waterloo colliery 2211 tons 18 cwt. large; 7 tons small.
Mr. Roger Lewis - Gwrhay colliery 3114 tons 2 cwt. large; 2 tons small; 138 tons 8 cwt. Coke.
Messrs Carr & Co. - Penycoedcae colliery 2249 tons 15 cwt. large; 15 tons brush coal; 2 tons small .
Messrs. J.P. Price - Kendon colliery 66 tons 17 cwt. large. (The following year, 1855, the owner was Edward Jones)
Thos. Thomas - Tynyllwyne colliery 109 tons large; 102 11 cwt. small; 183 tons 15 cwt. Coke.
These records were presumably for the purpose of calculating wayleaves and royalties due to the Abercarn estate and others.
An interesting item is the carrying of small coal - this is a surprise to me as "small" was usually thrown into the gob as waste at this time.
Another puzzle is the "Tynyllwyne" mine - a new one on me - I can only think it's the Tynllwyn colliery at Pontllanfraith - any ideas?
I also note that there is no entry for Tirphilkins colliery which also used the Tramway.
Sir Thomas Phillips, owner of Manmoel colliery, received his knighthood following his part in crushing the Chartist uprising of 1839.
(Up to November 1854 the approx. tonnage per tram was 2 tons whereas afterwards was approx 5 tons per TRUCK although Waterloo, Gwrhay & Manmoel collieries were using av. 4 ton capacity trams prior to this date)

Adits arrowed. This colliery was located just north of Maesycymmer Junction.
The dates set against some of these workings vary between Oct. 1879 and Oct. 1880 although the majority are earlier .
This mine abandoned February 1907 with 16 No. U/G & 3 No. on surface - although confusingly another report gives abandonment in 1910 with 6No. U/gnd & 2 No. on surface with H. Caldwell as manager.
This mine opened early 1800's by Thomas Powell and was one of the largest of his early mines.

Arrowed. Also known as Tir-Jenkins pit. This part of the Rudry mine worked the Nos. 1 & 2 Rhondda seams.
August 1874 - Proprietors Messrs. Price, Bradbury & Co. - seven miners had narrow escape when old workings of an adjacent mine were struck and a portion of this mine was flooded.
The tramways of both this and the Brickworks pit combined lower down the incline before joining the Caerphilly branch of the Brecon & Merthyr Railway near Tyn-y-coedcae.

This is an overlay of an Ordinance Survey map published in 1951 placed on top of the modern layout of Folkestone Gardens. It shows the old housing and road layout, now long gone. On March 7, 1945, a V2 Rocket landed in Folkestone Gardens killing 53 people. I would assume the gap in the tenement blocks by the lake would have been the landing site.
