Worcs & Glos 1884 Central Glos page 45 centre
This map is a section of the pages devoted to Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, from a Gazetteer of Great Britain. It has been dated, from the state of development of the railways, to circa 1884. The covers, initial few pages and all of the Welsh section are missing, hence the need to calculate its date. The maps have been uploaded at a large scale, so that they can be seen in detail. Go to ACTIONS and See all sizes. They may take a time to load clearly. I haven't added the whole set to the Gloucestershire group, but they can be found in my Victorian maps album. The sections are a bit odd as the two counties are individually quite odd shapes and even combined they have bits sticking out in odd places.
I haven't scanned Herefordshire, but could do if there is interest.

Interesting the way that the spelling of many place names has altered over the years - the odd "e" added here and there, double "p's" reduced to one, and so on. Good effort, Bravo!

Some places seem to have disappeared altogether. There was, on this map, a little village or hamlet, west of Staunton in Gloucestershire, called Helhelpet Downing, not only does it not show up on Google maps, but it doesn't rate a Google entry.
