Description:The town planning scheme allocated areas or zones for different types of development such as residential, industry and public open space (the colour codes can be seen on the index map). Development had to comply with the Town Scheme and also shows principal road proposals and building areas.
This map shows us only a small portion of the Newcastle Town Planning scheme with the blue boundary line running up the left side of the sheet close to the North Staffordshire Railway line.
It shows large areas just outside of the boundary - Hanley and Etruria, including the steel works and Shelton Colliery.
