This is a sample of the 1740 map, the reference section of names and place names has been

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 please Click Here.
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.
