Hi Dave
Liverpool is at the middle right, spelled "lyu'pole" which is actually south. The top of the map is the east coast of England, with Hartlepool in the top left corner. Bottom right is Anglesey with Beaumaris shown unrealistically on the north coast... never mind. Scotland is on the left (north) with what is supposed to be Hadrian's Wall the castellated line running diagonally toward the bottom, the Lake District just to the right of that with Workington visible on the coast and the Isle of Man ("Insula de man") offshore, partly off the map. The curvy lines you asked about are the rivers so the next curvy line to the left or north of Liverpool is the Ribble with Cockersand Abbey with the steeple on the coast and Lancaster and Preston visible and "Amounderness" hundred noted in the rectangle. The big place in the middle of the map or more correctly top center right marked "Eboracum" is the Latin name for York with the rivers shown and nearby places like Ripon and Knaresborough marked. Dave, I hope this explanation helps!

Anyone know where Phoebe Anne Street got its name and does anyone have a map with it included on it.
Very basic in the streets and some are not listed but generally its a start. ;-)

This is from a book published in 1657 the days before they had snappy titles - "A BOOK of the NAMES of all Parishes, Market Towns, Villages, Hamlets and the smallest Places in England and Wales - Alphabetically set down, as they be in every Shire with the Names of the Hundreds in which they are, and how many Towns there are in each Hundred."
...or as we'd call it, a Gazetteer.

I'm completely gobsmacked! Almost every time I visit this website I come
upon something interesting and rewarding!! This thread is a case in point -absolutely fascinating. I came across it quite by accident an hour ago and
followed it backwards - if I can coin a phrase - and next time follow it all
through again logically and even more painstakingly. My thanks to all for your
contributions , it's a really brilliant thread you've put together!
