Leicester in the Cassini Past & Present map series which covers town & cities of England & Wales & offers a unique way of tracing their history & expansion by showing four different periods of their development using Ordnance Survey mapping from the mid-19th century, the late 19th century, the 1920s & the present day. Coverage

Three of the panels reproduce Ordnance Survey’s historical editions: the Old Series, the Revised New Series & the Popular Edition, enlarged from their original inch-to-the-mile to match the 1:50, 000 scale of the present-day Landranger extract shown in the fourth panel.* Old Series: the first detailed survey mapping dating from the first half of the 19th century, in black & white & with relief shown by hachuring.* Revised New Series from 1880s/1900s, with some colouring & a mixture of hachuring & contour lines.* Popular Edition from the inter-war years, with contour lines & colouring to indicate woodlands, parks, etc. National Grid lines are shown on all four panels for easy comparison across the four time periods. Historical notes, details of the original maps used & web-links for local history societies & other sources of information are also provided. *PLEASE NOTE:** Reproductions from the Ordnance Survey’s historical series are also available as maps of a wider area, with each title corresponding in its coverage to a present day Landranger map.

They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- encapsulated wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- please note: many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above.
