Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

[I've bought quite a few old maps. My father-in-law has several hundred OS maps, the product of a lifetime of walking. My mum once rescued about 50 from a skip outside the BT Phone exchange - they'd been annotated with various details of cabinets and such like.]

[Despite the protestations of my wife, I've kept hold of every map I've ever bought, and a great many free ones I've been given - town plans and the like - as well. They're a valuable historical document.]
That there are people as bad as me. My wife will not believe it.
