REVISED NEW SERIES c.1900 – Published November 2007 These maps are taken from Ordnance Survey's Revised New Series (in colour) maps which were first published between 1896 and 1904. POPULAR SERIES c.1920 - Published 2007 All the 'Old Series', ‘Revised New Series’ and 'Popular Series' maps have been carefully scanned, digitally re-projected and enlarged to match the present-day Ordnance Survey Landranger® series. Each map is directly comparable with the corresponding Ordnance Survey Landranger® and uses the same sheet number and grid references, so enabling the past and the present to be compared with ease and accuracy.
