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.
