A detailed map on vellum of the Brinsley area showing the various closes, crofts, commons, homesteads and tenancies. The names of the neighbouring landowners are also shown. The plots of land are all numbered and coded. Red dots on the map indicate lands where coal was extracted during the last lease. The whole area seems to have been part of a coalfield.
