The old Ordnance Survey First Series maps are especially of interest to those of us not from the UK, as they show the local terrain quite clearly. Modern maps don't list the names of the landforms as a rule, so that is another point in favor of the older maps.

I actually used those to get some of the names/locations on my updated manor map..

I love these old engravings
If I could, I would have all the local maps in KAP like this :)

Agreed. I was blown away that they were available online at such high resolution. I've downloaded the lot of Wiltshire and plan on stitching them together.

Any chance of you throwing up a link to the finished product to save the rest of us the job of stitching? :)

Of course, but it will be a very large file, I imagine. I might try to work on it Sunday...

Thijs - Is your updated manor map currently online? Or are you referring to the one already on your website?
