Waterford Maps from the Cromwellian era

Get to know the city as it used to be (most of the names are the same), warning it does not work in Opera but fine in FF. http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Waterford+Liberties&c=Waterford&indexOfObjectValue=-1&indexOfObjectValueSubstring=-1

Nice St. Catherines sounds a lot nicer than 'the Dunmore Road'

nice one. some of the names of areas and streets are mad, I think Bolton (Bolton Street) was one of Cromwells officers. Kinda mad that we didnt change it since having streets named after those who would be up for genocide these days is generally frowned upon.

Even older than cromwells time, some areas are named apparently after viking clans. Ballygunner, Baile Mhic Gunnair, Town of Gunnar (Gunnar being a scandanavian name, Ole Gunnar Solksjar)
