Stuart0742 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Railways still show their Pre-Nationalisation Names, so pre 1948 or around their. As it's based on an Ordnance Survey Map there could be a difference between the actual date and the publication Date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Bow Street is not on, it is named West Street, so the map is post 1938. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 In that case it's the publication date we are after pinning down.

DaveH Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I know the answer to this one, so I'll say nothing. So do I as you have only posted an image and no question. It is a map of Sheffield I suppose you intended to ask us its publication date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it's based on an Ordnance Survey Map there could be a difference between the actual date and the publication Date OK, The Arbourthorne estate and most of the Manor is on the map. This was built in 1935-6 so the map must be after that. However, Algar Place and Algar Drive are missing from the map. These 2 cul de sacs were built in 1945-6 when the original prefabs were put up just after the war, so the map must be before that. That seems to narrow it down to a 10 year period around 1935 to 1945. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Aidens Road is marked as Arbourthorne Road, and a dotted link is shown for the once proposed link to the proper Arbourthorne Road on the Arbourthorne estate which would cut across the Jervis Lum. It was never built. I think late 30's (37 to 39) is the most likely date for this map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 One for the New Year ? Are you suggesting with this comment and the what year(s) bit that it is a new picture and so, being taking in either December or January it will straddle 2 years?

RichardB Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 No, no such suggestion Dave. The publication does cover two years in the style of 2012-2013. I was thinking more of a candidate for a Calendar page.

You said you knew the answer to this "find the publication date / year puzzle" and yet you only know it to within 2 years. I've already narrowed it down to 10.

RichardB Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 I know it to within two years because it's currently sat on the breakfast bar i.e. I own it. On the cover it says 19xx-xx.
