Does anyone on the list possess the set of Ordinance Survey maps of England, Scotland& Wales of
about 1900, I'm trying to map the Roman roads described by Thomas Codrington in his book "Roman
Roads in Britain" published in 1903. He makes frequent reference to "the new OS map" in
his descriptions.
I'm hoping to find shape files, MapInfo files or scans of the sheets and happy
to contribute around $AU100 (current exchange rate hovers around ₤1.00 =
$AU1.50) to the cost of scanning the set. (I may be able to go higher if needed)
If this is off-topic I apologize and
NO I DO NOT PLAN TO ADD THIS HISTORIC CONTENT TO THE MAP I plan to server it
myself.
Not off topic at all really, as many of us want some mechanism for easily
managing secondary layers. However MANY of the roads you are looking at in that
book still exist today and so just need a valid 'start_date' attaching. I have a
growing collection of maps going back into the 1800's but only an A3 scanner
which is not ideal as it has a lip around the scanning area :(
