Historic Towns - Maps and Plans of towns and cities in the British Isles, Volume One
- Volume I
General Editor: Mary D. Lobel
Topographical Editor: W.H. Johns
From the description published at the time:
"This volume is an authoritative and unique work, is the first of a series explaining in cartographic and literary form the history and development of towns and cities in the British Isles from the earliest times to about 1800 - that is before their Medieval character was transformed by the Industrial Revolution.
The visual impact of the maps and plans is exciting. They unfold, for the first time, a reliable ground record of towns for periods of their history long before the science of surveying and mapping was developed.
This outstanding acheivement of mapping the past, as if the features existed on the ground today, provides a new dimension and insight into the development of British towns and cities."
