MAPS & GUIDES

HOW IT BEGAN

I've always enjoyed map reading. As a child I coloured in and added new streets to a map of my  home town, shown on the right - with my old home circled. I bought maps issued cheaply by petrol companies and then, once I began driving, I started to buy Ordnance Survey maps. Whenever I visit a castle, museum, country house, etc. I buy a guide book and have amassed collection of many hundreds.  

THE BOX FILES ON THE RIGHT CONTAIN MY GUIDES TO PLACES IN ENGLAND - I HAVE OTHERS FOR THE REST OF THE UK AND THE WORLD.   ON THE LEFT ARE THE CONTENTS OF THE BOX FILE FOR LONDON
