Dear Pete Very many thanks for your reply. It is really helpful. I am contacting Alan Murphy to see if he can help. Sorry, I was using OS grid to describe...
You could try talking to David Archer, mapseller, who lives in you neck of the woods at Kerry. See here: http://www.david-archer-maps.co.uk/content/ L...

I understand from Roger Hellyer's 'OS Small-scale Maps indexes 1801-1998' that a coloured edition of sheet 160 (Brecon) was 'made available to the consultative...
I'm considering buying some furniture for the storage and display of folded maps - largely but not exclusively OS, various series - or having some fabricated...
I have made most of my shelves myself from veneered chipboard as most of my drawings, maps and plans are 'non-standard' as far as the furniture manufacturers...
Maps produced for consultative committees are notoriously hard to track down, as they do not appear to be sent to the legal deposit libraries! I believe this...

Thanks for your continued hard work on this Les! I see that a new Explorer Sheet 20 is due "B2 (1/09)" but can I ask when that might actually appear in the...
