Map of York 1851 showing station, York and North Midland Railway and York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway lines and associated sidings and workshops, coal depots, staithes, and surrounding streets.

This map shows York's railway lines and station in 1851. The map was surveyed by royal engineers from the Ordnance Survey and was engraved and published by them in 1852. The map is very detailed, showing the railways prior to the construction of the modern York station in 1876. Notable features include the layout of the York station constructed within the city walls, the engine roundhouses, coal depot, Lendal ferry and numerous roman and medieval archaelogical sites that are marked on the map.
