1610 John Speed Map Nottinghamshire

Speede's map of Nottingham is very accurate. It borrows heavily from the 1609 map produced by Bankes but it is much more pleasing to the eyes. I have laid the 1609 map, and Speede's map over a modern day OS map and most of the streets on the old maps correspond with the modern day streets (except where the Ice Centre and Broadmarsh Centre have destroyed those streets). You have to manipulate the eastern half of Speede's to make it fit but it is still a very accurate map, albeit stylistic.
