Metheringham Area 1947 OS Maps

Excerpts from the 1947 Ordnance Survey 1 inch to the mile map sheet have been added to the Metheringham Area Map Archive. The map sheet forms part of the Sixth (New Popular) Edition of the OS series. Whilst the publication date is 1947, there doesn't appear to be any updates to the sheet after 1939 as there is no evidence of any WW2 building activity. The absence of any of the many military airfields in our area demonstrates this.
The Map Archive already contains maps from the Ordnance Survey First Edition of 1890/1891 and from a much earlier survey by A Bryant of 1840.
