Tidworth in 1936 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. The map is double-sided to provide maximum coverage & crosses the Wiltshire
- Hampshire border (it is also Wiltshire Sheet 48.15). It will be of unusual interest to family historians, for countless hundreds of relatives will have lived here briefly while on military service. The main map covers the area from North Tidworth & North Manor House southward to South Tidworth & Ashdown House. Features include much of Tidworth Barracks, including Bhurtpore Barracks, Candahar Barracks, Delhi Military Hospital, Jellalabad Barracks, Isolation Hospital, St Michael`s church, Hampshire Cross, Lucknow Barracks, Mooltan Barracks, Clarendon Hill, rifle ranges, riding school, officers messes, station, military railway running through the barracks & sidings into an unnamed (ammunition?) depot, Holy Trinity church. On the reverse is part of sheet 23.03 & this extends coverage south to include Tidworth (or Tedworth) House & part of Tidworth Park.
