About this Item

Single sheet, (495x336mm), A raised plastic coloured relief map at a scale of 6 miles to the inch, centred on Birmingham and showing central England including from Stockport, Sheffield and part of the Peak District in the north to Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Norton in the south, and from Altrincham, Crewe, and Much Wenlock in the west to Nottingham and Leicester in the east. A fine example. Oxford Plastic Relief Maps, Series 4. Map 1, showing A & B class roads, railways (and their volume of traffic based on figures from Winter 1958-9), canals, airports, and land use (rough pasture, farmland, woodland and built up areas). These maps, produced to a very high standard at the O.U.P's cartographic department are greatly superior, both in the topographic evidence and the manner of its presentation, and the quality of production, to later more 'touristy' productions on a similar theme. Please note that the advised postage is based on an average book, if necessary the postage will be reduced to the correct amount and you will be notified by email. Seller Inventory # 20680
