A hundred years of The Crags

The unique collection of map segments on this page trace the history of The Crags over a century of vast change – from the rurality of the mid-1800s to the industrial bustle of the mining age at its height in the mid-1900s.

Most of them are reproduced with the kind permission of the National Library of Scotland.
