One-inch Seventh Series map of Great Britain. Scale 1:63,360, 1949 - 1973

 Fonds
Reference Code: GBR/3296/Maps/Maps.KGM 20.

Scope and Contents

Maps.KGM 20.1 = Coloured edition ; Maps.KGM 20.2 = Outline edition. Many of the maps were stored in large slip-cases made by Guy Messenger made out of cardboard (sometimes recycled corn-flake cereal boxes) and tape or sticky-back plastic (usually black), but only samples of these boxes have been retained. Most of the maps were listed by Map Department staff in May and June 2019 and sheet titles are taken from the cover (the original cover or a Guy messenger cover unless absent in which case they are taken from the map). The absence of an original cover has not always been noted.
