I have been trying to find City Road as in 1812, where my gt,grandmother was born. I cannot find who her parents were and thought this may help.

I wish I could buy a digital copy (perhaps split up into quadrants), the interactive map is frustrating me a little. Still, a very useful thing to have! Using it for my Sherlockian endeavors.

In reply to Patricia Kuhn.

At the time, Bedlam was at St Georges Fields in Southwark. Here it is on the map: https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=18&lat=51.4964&lon=-0.1090&layers=163&b=1

These days the building, that was Bedlam back when the map was produced, is the Imperial War Museum.

Looking for location of Bedlam at that time. Appreciate any help.

In reply to Jim Shaw. I think it's more to do with the NLS having the right individual in the right place with the right flexibility - someone dedicated and enthusiastic, who started the project for Scotland, then realised it made sense to expanding it right across Great Britain, once the coding/idea for Scotland was developed, relatively easily. Great ideas like this often grow organically. It just so happens to have come from the NLS rather than any one of a number of other institutions.

Not only has the National Library of Scotland scanned these maps, but also virtually all one-inch, six-inch and 25-inch maps of the whole of the UK, as well as large scale town plans and others — and all available absolutely free to view on their website. They are also very helpful if you visit them in Edinburgh. This is a great resource for researchers. How come the British Library, with its much greater resources, hasn’t done this? Presumably it doesn’t fit with their elitist charge-for-everything ethos?

In reply to SAnford Zane Meschkow. Curse you, Meschkow, you have exposed my evil schemes and machinations. Aside from an abiding love of History and Map Making, I am an amateur writer as well as a passionate Gamesman, building a Steam Punk inspired, Victorian era Milieu based around the Hero System Game rules...
