Old Map of Basingstoke Town and Waterways
In looking at my research notes for my book "Leaning on a Lamppost" I came across an extended map of Basingstoke dated 1894, contained in four images. I have stitched the photos together so that the old waterway is clearly visible, at one time the life blood of the Basingstoke industry, with Basingstoke Wharf at its centre. For more information and images, click on these links https://www.stevebusterjohnson.com/basingstoke-map-1910 and https://www.stevebusterjohnson.com/story-leaning-on-a-lamp-post. "Leaning on a Lamppost" contains a large chapter featuring Basingstoke as it was in 1910 - a very different town compared to today.
