Hi Dave, Thank you. I had a look last night. I found that the 1874 Bristol map is an Ashmead so not the same as the c.1874 Bartholomew map I was looking at earlier. The Bartholomew map is included in a two-volume 1874 Gazetteer, which I bought several years ago, especially for the Bristol map. I'd forgotten about it until now. Josephine --
