Actually, cows, cathedrals and stone circles aside (not that they’re not worthy of a serious mention) Milton Keynes has quite a reputation in far-flung places of the world for its initiative town planning.

Haha!
Well, as someone who has worked extensively in the (old) OS building, as has Mrs G, I do tend to get more than a little excited by maps. New and old. It's a bit sad, but there we go! :D
This should possibly be posted elsewhere, but I shared this with Summerlands the other day - others may enjoy. ;)

What an excellent link, how inspiring.
But remember, the map is not the territory. An that.

Re: Roads & Trackways of North Wales -Tim Prevett

On the back of listening online to Tim Prevett's talk about Roads &Trackways of North Wales I ordered the book from Amazon for £12-99 (received earlier today). It includes a section on prehistoric trackways, Roman roads, roads and trackways of Pilgrimage, and Drove roads. Also covers Anglesey which I have been meaning to visit for such a long while. Am mentally planning trip.
Great little reference book with maps.

Ancient Stones on Old Postcards - Jerry Bird
I recently had this as a present (thanks Karen!) and have only had chance for a quick flick through. Looks very good. A selection of Edwardian postcards mainly from 1900 to 1915. lots of well known and less well known images.
Well worth getting.
