The green diamonds are part of the HER (Historic environment layer) which you can turn off by removing the tick on "Community layer" on the left or by removing the tick under "HER layer" in the box on right of the map. HER layer stores the location of such things as Listed buildings, statues, monuments etc. The Hartley layer contains the location where various old photos were taken and similarly the Loxton layer the location of various old drawings were made. I don't think there is any way of downloading apart from doing a screen print. The detailed 2012 OS map data is very valuable so OS don't want to give people free access to print a map instead of buying the map.

I loved that 1750 Rocque map! So much tiny hand drawn detail, little trees and you can zoom in to see individually named buildings. The nonly thing is how to ged rid of the little green diamonds which keep popping up everywhere!! Wow, gotta figure a way of downloading it! It cant be as easy as right click save it surely. The diagramatic map of Prior Hill Fort was helpful too Josephine. They are all showing the right sort of area where Benjamin Gillam lived so at least if we cant find Godwin St itself we know it was around Freemantle somewhere. Thanks for your help everyone.

If you do an address search for 13 Fremantle Rd on "Know Your Place" that will take you straight there. However the street is only partly built on the 1855 map and on the 1828 map the area is green fields called Nine Tree Hill so cannot be Godwin St in 1787. The streets just south of Fremantle St such as Somerset St or Dove St(was Dove Cote Lane) are in St James Out Parish and are on the 1750 map.

Hi Amanda, Prior's Hill Fort (Fremantle Square) in Bristol is mentioned on the following web page: http://www.fortified-places.com/bristol.html A map showing the position of Prior's Hill Fort in Bristol is here: http://www.fortified-places.com/bristol_image6.gif The position of Prior's Hill Fort on a modern map is shown here: http://www.pastscape.org.uk/maps.aspx?a=0&hob_id=198333 Possibly Godwin Street was in this location.
