Sorry to say I've just finished this book - really excellent it was. Often the ones I read could do with very harsh editing, but certainly not this book....
While not a CCS member as yet, but since a major affection for maps and OS maps in particular has been a factor throughout my life, I thought I would add a...
Thought I'd contribute my own life in OS maps. Having joined CCS at roughly age 20 in about 1997 (andybody who has all the Sheetlines to hand will be able to...

Hi Philip, ... There is now. Try this: http://85a.co.uk/maps_forum This is just a bare-bones board at present. If there is enough interest I will get it fully...

Hi Lez, ... No intention to compete, just giving folks additional choices. A web forum is very different from an email group. You can have images, attachments...
I've just remembered that John Davies said that the new CCS website has the capacity to host a forum if it was desired by the members. I'm not sure whether it...
Hi there I thought there were various forums devoted to maps but may be they are just the ones aimed at the people who make them. I thought I would share my...
All this talk of peoples interest in maps got me wondering how many maps people owned and what was the oldest map they had? I own over 1600 OS maps, along with...
Having attended the evening at The Charthouse outside Abergavenny, enjoyed good food and been greatly entertained by Mike P., I bought the book which I've now...
Good to hear those reminiscences Alan and especially of your browsing in Frodsham - been there and done that myself. Good to hear you are alive and well after...
Not really. The potential functionality of CCS website would be more for blogging, ie adding latest news or comments, rather than as a topic-oriented forum. ...
I'd tend to agree with John, and would add that web-based 'forums' usually require regular active participation in the form of visiting the site to keep...
Hi Ed, ... The new Maps Forum gives you the best of both worlds. You can have all the messages transmitted to you as emails if you prefer. Either individually,...
I might possibly have been able to count up my maps up to about the end of 1965, but after that the rot set in. Probably the best course is to buy a few...

At the risk of getting into a "mine is bigger than yours" discussion, I suppose I have at least 2000 maps, almost all military editions of OS Mapping, UK...
Richard said: "Probably the best course is to buy a few expensive items, rather than a lot of cheap ones: then you don't have much of a storage problem." Ah,...
Whilst I'm not interested in boasting that my collection is bigger than someone else's, I am interested in the number of maps people collect. Storage is an...

Hi there, I have a question concerning the design of the symbols seen throughout the various Ordnance Survey maps produced since the map's inception. I'm aware...
The short answer to this is that the symbols used by the OS have evolved gradually since the late 18th century. As regards 'design', there never seems to have...
