SteveHB Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 After 1938 before October 1940 - narrowing down nicely. What happened in 1939 (apart from "that event") - any dates stones or knowledge of builds or demolitions, fires ...... , shame about the Church at the Peace Gardens (named, as we all know after Charlie Peace ... ) I think you may have a cloth copy of Gramps paper version of Bacons, only one way to check, is by comparing the A-Z street gazetteer's from both maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'll try to scan and/or send it to a Scanning professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 The drive to accurately date the map I find most interesting, hopefully others do too. Any other maps or even snippets of maps/plans,layouts/ line drawings of courtyards/photos; as always, much appreciated.

RichardB Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 It's in the post; along with some other stuff. I'll try to scan and/or send it to a Scanning professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Right Richard, I have made some adjustments to your above A-Z (post #31) Six Bob Map.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Comparing the A-Z's from both maps, top line, bottom line and size of spacing (impossible to check every street name) of each page, both gazetteers appear to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Thanks Steve. So, while its in the post what's the best guess at a date ?

RichardB Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 I hope I can get a jpg file of the map, one of the guys at work (Baldy Liam, Unitedite from Highton Street) is a GIS-person and has offered to do something, not sure what since I don't even know what GIS is - he explicitely said sections or the whole thing but definately not a pdf - tiff, or gif or jpg - if possible. 1940's Wednesday tin-thing also on its way for a higher-res scan please.

I think you will find that your Bacon's cloth map is the same as the paper one that Gramps donated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
