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 large areas of industry (purple) as mining was prevalent in the area, the yellow and orange on the map indicate areas earmarked for housing. There are also 2 small areas for public open space (striped green) and new road plans (red).
