- 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.

The Bristol Bus Boycott was a success & marked the start of a lifetime of campaigning by Stephenson. He was regarded as a trouble maker as he challenged racist practices in all aspects of life & strove to bring together black & white communities across the world. His work has been hugely influential & has resulted in him being honored with an OBE & being given the Freedom of the City of Bristol where he lives with his wife Joyce. ...
