I don’t have anything in my collection but found these two maps online: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:British.coalfields.19th.century.jpg and http://etc.usf.edu/maps/pages/7200/7264/7264z.htm . Also looking through David Rumsey in the meantime. Wondering if anyone has maps for those areas scanned for their collection or print maps where I could get scanned copies? Thanks, Dennis Dennis G.
