Note: Before c.1936, Bart's half-inchers were in seperate England & Wales series and Scotland series, and a combined and renumbered Great Britain series thereafter.

I also have photocopies of other old maps (or parts of) local to Berkshire, taken from library collections.

I've got loads of recent OS Landranger (pink covers, 1:50,000) and Explorer (orange covers, 1:25,000 - except for Tourist areas where they are yellow) which are my "working" maps for laning expeditions. I'm not listing that lot, so there !

Maps marked with a T are surplus to my needs ; I'm open to trading offers from other RoW researchers!   Or I might scan the part of any map you're interested in.
Maps I'm keen to find :
OS 1/2 inch road map 1910-1940 sheet 34 (Surrey)
Barts 1/2 inch 1890-1936 sheet 30 and/or 1930-1950 sheet 9 (Surrey)
Bacon , Johnstons sheets covering Berkshire
