    3. Jennifer, If Jill's answer does not satisfy you with her background information on the steel works and the dronnies etc and you still want to know where this terrace of houses are / were in Workington town then I suggest the following. The telephone number for Workington library is 01900-325170 or the E-Mail adress is on the Cumbria Libraries web site. Start at www.cumbria.gov.uk/libraries. The library has a local history section and are likely to have large scale street maps of the town from the 1901 OS series. You MAY be able to persuade them to photo copy one section of such a map. I believe that the copyright rules do allow a certain small percentage of a map to be copied for research purposes only. The problem with this is that I think that this section of the library is closed at this time for refurbishment. An altrnative is the Whitehaven record office but i do not know whether their map collection extends to street maps for Workington. Try them at whitehaven.record.office@cumbriacc.gov.uk The natives are very friendly ! Another possibility is to use the Ordance Survey themselves. All their maps are digitised and held on computer. They can print any map, or part of a map, for you. Check their Website. google (maps+"ordance survey"). They have been privatised so are now keen to be helpful. If you live in a large town you might have a OS agent available who could do it for you. They put the map on the screen you select the part and they print it. Nev.
