This very detailed map covers the old village of Billingham, with St Cuthbert's church and The Green in the top left corner. Coverage then extends south to the Billingham Beck and east to Haverton Hill Road and the Billingham Beck railway line. However, much of the map is taken up with the extraordinary industrial complex of ICI - Imperial Chemical Industries - which ran east from Chiltons Avenue. Billingham by 1939 was very much a company town. (The new town centre will be on a later map for Billingham North). The map is therefore crowded with railway tracks, gasometers and unidentified industrial plant. We also include an historical introduction to Billingham from a 1894 map (when the town was a village) and a directory of the town in 1934.

Tow Law stands over 1,000 feet up, and developed in the mid 19th century with the growth of the Weardale Iron Co; the population peaked at 5,005 in 1881 but had fallen to 4,371 by 1901; the iron works closed in the 1880s, local ore being too expensive to extract. However, this is still a busy map with several collieries and railways. Features include the town itself, with cattle market, Dan's Castle, Tow Law Iron Works (a smaller works run by Joseph Bond), station, St Philip & St James church, South Cornsay, Black Prince Colliery.
