How about a map of the Railways of England and Wales, from around 1850?

Loads of old 1" OS maps and some early Bartholemews.

Generally speaking all our old maps get chucked although I think we do have O/S road maps of the Lake Distict that dates back to the early 60's, My dad did a cycling trip up there.

I've got some local O/S from the mid-60's (inch - mile)

One thing that people have to have pointed out on them is the lack of a M62.

I'm still amused that the many RAF bases around the York/Selby area are totally omitted (just blank areas) :roll:

I bought a 1960s Bartholemew map of Mid Wales today on ebay. Just over £3. Thinking it may be able to provide evidence of historical usage of lanes, and will be an interesting document in any case.

There are a fair number of old maps on ebay, worth a look if you're trying to complete a set.

Yes I like the old maps webiste, my place is on it as it was built on 1500 ish. Shows all the mines on the land as well so theiving pikies beware I have places to stash bodies!

Most MOD sites are not shown on maps to this day, google earth however is another kettle of fish.

Just sold about 100 old OS & Bartholmews maps dating from 1910 onwards on E-Bay! I've got loads left that I'm keeping though.



Got about 20 quid for this group.

Somewhere I have a map showing all the WW2 airfields in Norfolk. Not very interesting, unless you happen to like WW2 airfields, which I do. Which is quite handy really :?

Although I have every respect for you and yours can I just draw your attention to one small point.

They stopped selling marathons donkey years ago I think you will find they are now called Snickers.

I had you down as a Sherbet Dip man meself.

See ya saturday> :evil:
