| Description | This Ordnance Survey Lancashire Sheet XCIX.8, 1939 revision, scale 1:2500, focuses on the Kirkby Park area and shows the site of the Y.W.C.A. run hostel built to accommodate up to 1000 munition workers during WWII. This map was surveyed and coloured in August 1958, by which time the hostel had been repurposed as the site of the Malayan Teachers' Training College. |
