Dear Angela: Thank you - do you know whether there are there likely to be any maps anywhere - I ask as I have seen some dating back to 18C in West London?

But I don't know for sure if they have anything covering Alkerton in that time span - give them a call & ask, they are always helpful. tel;- 01295 262282 Angela :>) Admin Banbury list > > Thank you - do you know whether there are there likely to be any maps > anywhere - I ask as I have seen some dating back to 18C in West London?
