Position of Features on Maps
Following the popular method, the position of each feature on the map is given, where appropriate, in brackets by reference to the following grid:
Aa Ba Ca Da Ea
Ab Bb Cb Db Eb
Ac Bc Cc Dc Ec
Ad Bd Cd Dd Ed
Ae Be Ce De Ee
Where a large feature extends over more than one square of the grid the
position of the centre is given, except when the feature is in a corner when
the corner reference is given. When the feature is outside the inner border the
reference is followed by ‘OS’. Position information is given where this feature
changes during the lifetime of the map.
A Note on Dating Maps
Where a book, map or plan is dated in the imprint of the publisher or signature of the author/engraver then this is, of course, given. In the absence of a date then an approximate date is suggested in brackets, e.g. (1820). When a library (see References) dates their copy in such a way then this date is used even if other evidence suggests a later date, e.g. a later railway is shown. Sometimes there is a date in the imprint, but evidence shows a later publication then the following annotation is used: 1820 (1825).
