The map
About this Washington map poster
Washington in Tyne and Wear looks very different from older English towns on a map. It was designated a new town in the 1960s and planned as a set of separate villages and districts, each with its own curving residential streets, linked by a network of distributor roads and roundabouts. Green spaces fill the gaps between them.
The River Wear passes along the southern side of the town, adding a natural, winding line to an otherwise planned composition. Major roads, including the routes toward Newcastle, Sunderland and the A1, run past the edges, and a large industrial area to the north adds wide, rectangular footprints to the map.
A Washington map poster also holds a transatlantic connection. Washington Old Hall, at the heart of the original village, was the ancestral home of the family of George Washington, first president of the United States, whose surname comes from this place. The hall stands in one of the older pockets of the town, surrounded by the planned districts that grew up later.

Why Washington
A map that means something
Residents often describe Washington through its districts rather than its centre, and this map shows exactly why. It is a meaningful print for those who grew up there, and a curious one for Americans interested in the name's origin.
Add your own title and subtitle, perhaps the name of your district or the year you moved, and adjust the coordinates. Pick from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand.
