Coles Map







Features
Not much building since the last map, so still much open space was left within the City Walls.

Some points to note are:
 * The Canal has been built and the Basin is present, and there is now an extension to Ellesmere Port;
 * The Shot Tower has now been built.

History
A detailed nineteenth-century map of Chester with an inset view of the towers and city wall that was published in the atlas, "The British Atlas; Comprising A Complete Set Of County Maps, Of England And Wales; And Plans Of Cities And Principal Towns" in 1810. The map was drawn by G.Cole and engraved by John Roper for publication in "The Beauties Of England And Wales", that was published in parts, from c.1804. Such was the success of the publication that the maps were re-used in other publications.
