Check out this [scroll down for link] Victorian map of Huish Episcopi and Langport
No railway line, no Garden City, no Eastover, no Brooklands Road, no St Mary's Park.
A mill operating next to Eli's [many of you will remember the chimney] and a chapel in the grounds of the cemetery opposite the Shires site.
Many thanks to blog reader Brian Hillson [well he says he can read anyway] who told us about this website.

It's a bit of a clunky website. The link takes you to the North of England so click on the minus sign to zoom right out then move the map to find Somerset and Langport. Then zoom back in. Then - here's the important bit - move the slider to the far right to go back to Victorian times.
Then you can move around Langport and Huish.
Fascinating stuff.
Enjoy!
