1878 Ordnance Survey Map of the Burslem Branch Canal
area
| When compared
with the 1851 OS map a massive
development can be seen which demonstrates the success and commercial
value of the Burslem branch canal. Alongside the existing Newport Pottery, Mersey Pottery and an encaustic tile works have been built. The area to the left of the canal is fully developed, the rectory on the 1832 map was surrounded with fields is now in the centre of streets and terraced houses. More wharf buildings have been erected and the mineral railway is also shown.
