Description
An early 19th century George IV period plan of The Town & Borough of Alnwick by John Wood.
John Wood was born in Yorkshire around 1780-85, and he died in 1847. He is best known for his detailed plans of Scottish towns, but he produced town plans across England and Wales, his survey of Northumberland and Durham was between the years 1826-1827.
The map has an ackowledgement to the Duke of Northumberland "To his grace the Duke of Northumberland, this plan is by permission, respectively inscribed by his grace's most obedient and much obliged humble servant John Wood", if that did not get him some good 'brownie points' I don't know what will!
The plan is in very good condition and is held in a contemporary frame. (Circa 1827)
