If you’re interested to see how Madeley used to look, here’s a zoomable map from the Ordnance Survey from 1900 – you can see lots of things that haven’t changed, and plenty that has! Can you find where you live on this map?

I think I can identify the raised tree in the middle of the college field from the 1900 map – a few other items of interest too! (The milestone on the main road towards Keele is still there!)
