High quality giclee print of Recreated Victorian map by Peter
John Adams who for many years gained a wealth of experience in
mapping with the Ordnance Survey.
His interest in history and his fascination with the industrial revolution through his early time as a surveyor in the cotton towns of Lancashire, led him to research old maps of the nineteenth century. He has created these maps to give others, with a similar love of the period, the opportunity to discover how their towns and villages looked during that time of great social and economic change in the heat of the industrial revolution.
The detail contained in each map is most impressive. Based on
the comprehensive first large scale surveys by the Ordnance
Survey almost every tree and pathway is shown, streets and
lanes named, pumps and wells in gardens seen and every public
building and factory labelled creating a picture of the town over which the imagination can roam.
