Guest carlie167 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I like that, wonder how many will spot it? Well there you are, if its good enough for him its good enough for anyone! I have lived in Worksop for about 20 years but I will always miss Sheffield and when people ask me where Im from I still dont say Worksop, its always Sheffield. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Full Edit is Quick when just text is involved, but a hell of a lot slower if a 1.5 MB photo file is loading up. 'Remember' how long it took when we were exchangeing Map bits Bugger, imagine how much time I've wasted !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Twelve 1959 Maps Let's see if there is any interest in this. I have twelve maps all dated 1959 and we have the permission of the Ord. Survey people to scan them and post them (with the usual Crown Copyright and Sheffield History watermark). Are we interested in these before I start scanning them ? They are 3093 Oughtibridge 3079 Totley 2898/2998 Old Haywoods/Middlewood Road (double sized map) 2978 Baslow Road/Moodwood Lane 3279/3379 Mickley (double sized map) 3589NW Shirecliffe Road 3176 Millthorpe 3192 Middlewood/Great Hollins Wood 3958NE Stradbroke Road/Hastilar Road South 2798 Stocksbridge 3481 Greenhill (1:2500) 4694NW Whinney Hill Please let me know (by posting here) if it's a go-er, messages will eventually be deleted ...

DaveH Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Scan when you are ready Yes get them scanned Richard, I am hoping that eventually as they come out of copyright you will have a full set of maps to fill in all the gaps. Its sods law that the sections of map I particularly want to see are on the missing bits so I am hoping that they will eventually become available and that it will not be like the classic jigsaw puzzle of a nude lady which is destined to always be short of that last, crucial, missing piece!

RichardB Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 They were purchased as a group of out of copyright, 1950's maps - they kindly provided more than originally stated, but it deceases in quantity as the years go by. It does continue into the 80's and 90's but we need Copyright approval for even 1960. Your jigsaw of interesting bits might take some time yet.
