Beefsteak 305 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I have just come into possession of a copy of Chapmans Map of Nottinghamshire 1774. Unfortunately there are 10 sheets and each one is A3 (That is the one twice the size of A4 I think) Unfortunately my scanner will only do A4 so if any one would like to see a particular area let me know and I will just put that on and we can build up bit by bit.

rob237 89 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Good stuff Ian...of great interest to me! Might I suggest a scan of the City firstly, and selfishly request a connecting due eastward scan out to the Lincs border at, say, Bottesford/Muston? Or following the Trent to Newark... If possible, perhaps later scans could then extend outward from the initial City view? Many thanks... Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 First ones as requested, any more? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Many thanks Ian. At first glance these are extremely interesting... Will enjoy looking at them in detail...already noted some surprising features around Bingham and the Vale of Belvoir. I'll report back when I've digested them Cheers Robt P.

rob237 89 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Ian, I've found your 1774 maps to be fascinating!...amazed at their quality and clarity. From the posted sheets, clearly the arterial roads/tracks remain almost exactly the same, especially so in the Belvoir Vale. Note the straight (very Roman!) road, that no longer exists, heading south-eastward towards Redmile from the Elton Cross roads, off the present day A52. Cotgrave and Ruddington appear to be the largest population centres in the Rushclff(e) area...seemingly bigger than Bingham, Radcliff(e) or even West (Weft!) Bridg(e)ford!! Would be grateful if you are able to post the sheets due north of the City, from Bulwell, Hucknall, Ravenshead up to Mansfield...many thanks. Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Thanks for the map Ian It is possible to create a page showing these stitched together if the joints are accurate. I could FTP them and we could create a page for it if you like? A bit like this... http://www.railwayarchive.org.uk/map/planB...b.php?planNo=33 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Yes they match up exactly to make one big page Do you need me to post it to you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 There's another way too Ian, photograph them with your digital camera. Thats the way I intend getting the Clifton Colliery and Cotgrave Colliery abandonment plans on my website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Ian I have PM'd you all the information you require to upload the files via FTP to your own area.
