Phil Sutters' photos with the keyword: gazetteer

Another county set from an old Victorian gazetteer. Because of the book's format, there is a fair degree of overlap between neighbouring sheets. I have offered this sheet to the Shropshire group, as it may be of interest, although it is not a photograph. If it is not thought appropriate for the group's album, I shall remove it without any hard-feelings. If they would be welcome, I can add the other three pages. Likewise there are a dozen or so more mid-20th Century railway photos available, taken at Shrewsbury, which I could add, but I don't want to add too many, especially when they only show tiny bits of the surrounding scene.

These maps come from a rather dilapidated gazetteer dated about 1884. It has a number of cities and towns at this sort of scale, English county maps and rather small scale maps of Scotland and Ireland. The Welsh maps had all been removed at an earlier date. If anyone wants maps of other areas I will try to scan them, but my current scanner is harder to use when scanning anything over A4. I do have several cities and counties already on file. The maps have been loaded at a larger than life file size so that one can look at areas in detail. If you are a visitor to ipernity - to magnify the image click the ACTIONS button, on the right of the screen, and then 'See all sizes'. Then choose the size you need.

I thought that this map, with all the different railways shown would be on interest. Most, but not all, were subsequently absorbed into the GWR.
