RichardB Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Initially just an 'orrible scabby document, now, something useful. Many Thanks to Stuart for his hard work in making sense of the random maps thrown his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 There is a great deal more of this document; it is however in tatters; this scan is the best bit. I can do a higher resolution of this bit - the Sheffield bit - as high as you like - let me know. I would describe the document as " a disaster" at best, some fragments are less than one inch square and heading towards dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Volunteers ? I don't think this document can be saved, it is "dead". However, would anyone be interested in putting together an index to "our" maps, Maps 5, 92,3 and 292 might form a perfect square. I did say they were coming at you in a random order. Any assistance would be great. 5|92 3|292 That kinda posting would be very fine, just showing which Maps create a block of 4. I know we haven't hit 292 yet, but, we will ! I'm the bottleneck but I'm trying my best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK3586NE then SK3586NW, SK3586SE, SK3586SW completes that block. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm dumbstruck ! Nothing in what is left of my mind could work that out ! I just sit with lots of maps, posting duplicates .... Excellent stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart0742 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Lost me a bit on that one Stuart, but then again I was never any good at Naughts & Crosses's .. I tried to show 2 things on the grid, yes I know not very clear: 1. How our map numbers fit together as per Richard's earlier post ie which 4 maps make up a square, by adding them together into we can see how the squares fit together as per the orginal index sheet. 2. The numbers across the top and down the side follow the layout of the original SK numbers on the index They increase left to right eg 3396 3496 3596 3696 etc. They decrease top to bottom eg 3396 3395 3394 3393 etc Using the grid Map 37 as an example Go up to 34xx Go left to xx94 Therefore Map 37 is 3494 Does that make sense?

Guest tsavo Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Despite working for Ordnance Survey for over a year in the early 00s, not really. To be honest I can't believe what you've all taken on. A labour of love or what? Am trying to complete my own listings of the Cinemas and Theatres at the moment which is taking a fair bit of time. Maybe when that's completed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when that's completed? "To be honest I can't believe what you've all taken on." We like a challenge; next time I say "I've got an idea" somebody shoot me. But I said we'd do the Pubs justice; took over a year and is ongoing. I said we'd gets the Maps posted and we're working away to the best of our ability. Once all the hard work is done, I suppose it's time to actually look at the maps and get lots of cross-referencing done, linking older postings about buildings, events, people etc etc to the Maps. The "Kelvin" question posted recently being a great example. But mainly, My next big idea - put me down ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHB Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Nice work Stuart, I like the alphabetical order list, that's going to come in very useful. Think i'm just getting the hang of the SK numbers and grids. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 I can scan the rest of this document, if that helps - the rest is even more tatty and may not survive the folding/scanning process - but, if it helps... I think it's destined for the bin to be honest, to scan it might prolong its useful-life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughW Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Stuart, I have been making my own little grid covering Walkley and I can't quite 'square' it with that part of your master grid. You have... a group of 4 with maps 187,188 and 189 (189 covers two squares including the one above it) next to a group of 4 with 29,30,31 * Relatively speaking I think the first group should be 1 (4 square) step to the left and one down. * Map 88 which you have some way to the south should be immediately to the east of 187. I hope that makes sense Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Possibly visually is better: edit ignore 88 on this plan - it is a duplicate of 234 in the wrong place 2nd edit This grid is even more wrong than I thought, please ignore Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Stuarts was confusing enough to me, Now HughW has just made it even more confusing ... Oh 'How I wish .. 'I had gone to school' instead of 'Wagging It' to go Splodging. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 When the Maps are done, I'll scan the Index document fully, then we can all fall out on a big scale ! I don't understand the numbering system much - it has to be said, I've just scanned 'em. Hopefully someone can work out what it all means, I never claimed that person was me.

I hope that makes sense Hugh Hi Hugh Makes perfect sense to me I recorded Map 88 as SK3381NW should have been SK3387NW that will move it up the grid 187 3288SE 188 3288 NE 189 3288 NW/SW Yes these should be 1 group to the left This will put 88 SE of 187, the same sq as 234 on your grid, looks like 88 is part of 234. For a small area yes your version looks better, however mine was done as a result of Richard just wanting a grid to compare which map was next to which map.
