Laminated waterproof edition of a detailed topographic map of Cowal West & Isle of Bute from the Ordnance Survey Explorer series, covering Rothesay. Edition A1; Publication date November 2006 About this series: These highly detailed maps show all the administrative boundaries, settlements as small as isolated farms, the road network down to unfenced roads & country tracks, & field boundaries (hedges & drystone walls) which make navigation across the countryside much easier. Steep gradients on roads are indicated. Various landmarks, e.g. powerlines, archaeological sites, windmills, churches & lighthouses are shown & additional graphics indicate natural terrain features such as cliffs, scree, mud & vegetation variations. The contour interval is 5 metres in the lower parts of the country & 10 metres in the uplands, & spot heights are marked.

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

Cowley Road - A History

Once a ”respectable” white working-class suburb, Cowley Road is today the heartland of alternative Oxford. Famous for its restaurants and specialist shops, the street has also developed a n enviable reputation for its music and nightlife. Half a century of immigration and student growth has transformed Cowley Road into a lively thoroughfare synonymous with youth and multicultural expression. Annie Skinner traces the development of Cowley Road, looking at the impact of changing population and tastes on an urban environment. She considers how the street survived potentially devastating planning blight, witnessed political ferment in the 1970s and 1980s, and finally became a fashionably bohemian part of Oxford. Based on interviews and local archives, she reveals a largely untold
history of a street that is both typical of modern Britain and unique in its political and cultural dynamism. * Cultural melting-pot: churches and mosques; restaurants and retailing; a multi-ethnic community. * Politics and protest: revolutionaries and hippies; a tradition of radicalism; feminism and gay rights; the fight against racism; reds and greens.* Dancing in the street: Radiohead, Supergrass and the Zodiac; the street that never sleeps; the Cowley Road Carnival.
