Series details

£2.95

Clear and precise mapping is the hallmark of this map. Because of the large scale each building is shown with dividing walls between it and its neighbours. Some larger buildings even have their internal ground-plans shown. Parish and local authority boundaries are shown. Fields and large areas are given their size in acres and a "parcel number". Locations of wells, churches and public houses are indicated. Spot heights are given above sea-level in feet. A unique and clear record of who lived where (for most names and addresses are given on the back) and what the streets and alleyways looked liked. A treasure trove for the historian or someone interested in what their area looked liked in the "olden days before television".
