'Plan of the borough of Kingston-upon-Hull in the county of the town of Kingston-upon-Hull in the East Riding of the County of York, shewing the proposed plan for supplying the borough with water. Thomas Wicksteed, Civil Engineer, London. November 1842.'

Comments on map:

Map has scales both for itself (including rural enlargement) and sections (absent from Manchester copy), and Wicksteed's facsmile signature (Old Ford, London). The water scheme seems to be fine pecked lines and limits of deviation. Not a street or topographic map: clearer than the general run of either.
