george iv plan of north shields & tynemouth

An early 19th century George IV period plan of North Shields & Tynemouth by John Wood. John Wood was born in Yorkshire around 1780-85, and he died in 1847. He trained in North Yorkshire then lived in Edinburgh after he married. He is best known for his detailed plans of Scottish towns, but he produced town plans across England and Wales as well. Apparently his normal practice was to do field-work between late March and September/October, then he would return to Edinburgh to have his drawings engraved over the winter. The plan is in good condition with some minor discolouration and a seam or fold down the centre from being bound in a book and is held in a contemporary frame. (Circa 1826) Height 89cm (35 inches) Width 112.5cm (44.3 inches) Depth 2.5cm (1 inch) George IV Plan of North Shields & Tynemouth
