Description: Cromer Ordnance Survey Map One-Inch Popular Edition Coastal Norfolk Approximate Dimensions: 84cm x 63cm (33" x 24.8") Condition: Fine with marks indicative of both age and usage. Description: This is an Ordnance Survey map titled "Cromer," part of the Popular Edition One-Inch Map series. The map, published by the Geographical Section, General Staff, in 1932, features revisions made between 1897 and 1920, with additional minor corrections added in 1928. It showcases the coastal area of Norfolk, highlighting key locations such as Cromer, Sheringham, and Aylsham, along with their surrounding regions. The map has a clearly defined grid system with purple lines for coordinates, and contour lines in orange illustrate elevation changes across the landscape. The sea area is shaded in a soft blue-green, contrasting with the neutral off-white of the land. Roads and topographical features are depicted in black and orange lines, and bodies of water are highlighted in blue. Annotations include compass information, such as "Magnetic Var.," specifying the magnetic variation in 1921 with details about its annual decrease. The map also provides a legend indicating road classifications, using different symbols to show the quality and width of roads. Settlements like Cromer, Aylsham, and Sheringham are marked in black, with notable features such as golf links and waterworks nearby. Printed on medium-weight paper with a matte texture, this historical map is a good example of early 20th-century cartographic work and offers valuable insights into the region's geography and infrastructure at the time. Beyond display or reference, it could serve as an educational resource or a decorative piece for history enthusiasts and map collectors.
