Several years ago I received a copy of the Plan of the Town of Burslem in
1740. This is a very interesting town plot that details businesses, homes
and the names of the occupants. Unfortunately some of the detail and
names were very difficult or impossible to read.
I have scanned the map and edited the scanned image to make it as
readable as possible. This work was quite interesting but very time
consuming. The links below are typed text of the names and place names
that are on the plot. It has always been my intention to make this plan
available to anyone interested. The only charge will be for copying and
postage. Besides its appeal to anyone interested in Burslem and the names
or place names contained within, this town plan would make an very
interesting framed document. If you are interested in obtaining a copy

Note for Canadians: For the same small parcel, postage within Canada is 105% higher than the same parcel going to the US from Canada. This has been confirmed by Canada Post.

Please do not view this map/names as an absolute accurate representation
of Burslem in 1740. This "1740" map was probably commissioned circa 1816
by Enoch Wood and drew from land surveys, previous maps and the memory of
elderly residents. - - - Thanks Lev.
