Maps and plans are views from above or a ‘bird’s eye view’ of a place and use symbols. Maps and plans show the distance between places or objects accurately, through using a map scale. They can be drawn at different levels of detail: from the positions of objects in a room (a plan) to the location of countries, continents and oceans in the world (a world map). There are four main compass points which help people to navigate direction: North, South, East and West. A map of the school grounds is a ‘smaller scale’ map than the map of the classroom as it represents a larger space at a lower level of detail. Using a map scale means the distance between places is shown accurately. Map symbols are pictures to represent human (man-made) and physical (natural) features of the landscape. Symbols are useful as they prevent maps from being covered in too many word labels. Map keys show what each symbol means.

Declarative Knowledge – History Stewart Park The park was initially landscaped by Henry Bolckow, one of Middlesbrough's ironmasters and the borough's first mayor. Bolckow built Marton Hall in the park in 1858. The park was eventually bought by Councillor Thomas Dormand Stewart in 1924 for the people of Middlesbrough. He intended it to be "a public possession, open and accessible to all the people at all times". Stewart Park was officially opened to the public on 23 May 1928. Work to demolish the Hall started in May 1960 but on 6 June a fire broke out and tore through the building. Not even ten fire appliances could stop the fire owing to the lack of water supply in the area. The monument of Middlesbrough's industrial revolution was destroyed. https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/localnews/mystery-marton-hall-blaze-solved-3670988
