Dear Lis-mappers and Carto-soccers,
Two new large-scale maps which will definitely appeal to map librarians,
but might also entice those of you with interests in Winchester and
York.
Both maps are spin-offs from the British Historic Towns Atlas, and are
appetisers for the publication of atlases for both cities which will be
ready next year.
HISTORICAL MAP OF YORK c1850 ISBN: 978 1 90840 246 2 (£9.99)
The historic city of York is one of Britain's most beautiful, and its
appeal is heightened by a history of turbulence, drama, upheaval and
grandeur. Originally a prominent Roman settlement, it was later a Viking
stronghold and a key location during the Wars of the Roses, and went on
to become an ecclesiastical capital and, by the time of this map, the
heart of the Victorian railway network in the North.
HISTORICAL MAP OF WINCHESTER 1800 ISBN: 978 1 90840 223 3 (£9.99)
The cathedral city of Winchester has played many significant roles over
its long history: an ancient capital of Wessex, a Saxon stronghold, the
birthplace of the Domesday Book, and a centre of the medieval wool
trade. This map, drawn up by the Historic Towns Trust, gives a snapshot
of Winchester in 1800 and highlights the legacies of this illustrious
heritage. As well as reconstructing the geography of the Georgian city,
it indicates the construction dates of notable buildings and features of
the urban landscape. It is an invaluable tool for local historians and
genealogists, as well as those with an interest in the city's royal and
ecclesiastical connections.
Each map is approximately 620 x 880mm single sheet, folded to fit into
the A5 presentation wallet.
Individual copies of the maps are available direct from Old House
Customer Services, TBS Limited, Colchester Road, Frating Green,
Colchester CO7 7DW. Email: [log in to unmask]; tel: 01206 256002.
Each map is £9.99. Please add £1.50 postage and packing.

With best wishes,
Nick
