Adaptation of William Hill's map of Newport
William Hill's map of Newport (1681) coloured to show the possible Newport Pool. This ran from Moss Pool to a dam at Chetwynd End, where the main road crossed it. Norbroom marsh still remains at the eastern end of the town - near the end of the canal. The map also shows Williams Adams market hall, Adams Grammar school, hemp butts, the Mansion, Watery Lane (now Water Lane)and a mill. The Strine emerges from the pool in two places to the left of the road and procedes to the west. 'Newport Marsh' is the furthest entry on the south of the map. This Marsh was enclosed, drained and a new road put through. This is now Audley Avenue.
