#MapMonday new map repost!
Another beautiful #London map today (Forest Gate, 1867-93), and one that might be a handy accompaniment to the modern resident or visitor, as it details incredible local developments over the last decades of the 19th century. I will turn over the next few posts to the opening words of Tony Kirby…

Looks like useful information about #Edinburgh in these new maps
The great cities of the UK are represented by AGM's historic map sets. Our new Edinburgh maps are great on their own, but as a set they’re a snapshot of a city at a key historic moment.
For £3.50 & flat £2.50 postage, as a set they’re a brilliant gift for residents, historians, genealogists & more!
