No binding. 635 x 955 mm., with some light offsetting, otherwise in good condition. The E. Killwick Calver's survey of the entrance to the River Tyne with major corrections to 1883 featuring in great detail the city of Newcastle. The recently built Tyne Dock is shown to the south west built on the Jarrow Slake. The north side of the Tyne shows the Northumberland and Coble Dean Docks and neighbouring railways. The new Howdon Road runs north of this area. The other notable addition are the Channel works extending into the North Sea protecting the flow of traffic in and out of the river. This whole area is now dredged to a much greater depth. Provenance: Royal Society of Edinburgh.
