Welcome Post

 

Hi there, Map-lovers! 

Available on this site is a complete history of cycling maps, including 140 carefully-selected and restored extracts  from the main providers of such maps. It has been created specifically and wholly for that purpose for the general public with an interest in such matters. It was first published in 2021 and has been gradually expanded.

As well as individual pages the various map publishers, with extracts of their maps, there are separate pages covering

• Introduction
• Development of Cycling
• Sources and references
• How to date Cycling Maps
• The Black Museum - map mistakes

 It is not a blog in the normal sense, i. e. a forum for comment and exchange - think of it rather as an electronic 'coffee-table' book, to be browsed through at leisure or referred to for factual information. So instead of Posts (except of course this one), content is divided onto the various pages listed across the Home Page. The full list can be accessed by clicking on the horizontal display of page names, or alternatively the layer symbol in the top left corner of the Home Page, as shown alongside.

 If visiting this Blog for the first time, you are probably best viewing the 'Introduction' and 'Development of Cycling' pages, before visiting the map producers you are particularly interested in. Or you may be interested in the background to a particular map you have come across. A page is devoted to tips on dating maps.

Comments, which are welcome, should be made to the following email address rather than this blog:

 Please note that I am not a general dealer in the buying and selling of maps.

 This Blog has grown out of notes I previously had assembled for my own reference. I then had intended to make the content available to fellow map enthusiasts as a pdf file, but given the level of accessibility afforded by the blog format it would be somewhat retrograde to fossilise it in a one-off pdf, as the content can be continually expanded and tweaked (both a boon and a burden). To try and paginate it for printing as hard-copy would be almost impossible, as the map extracts are of different sizes and, in any case, are much clearer viewed electronically than they could ever be on paper. Remember that you will generally be viewing these extracts at a larger scale than the original - I always quote the original size.

 RECENT UPDATES

 August 2024 - I have trimmed the length of the Pocket Maps section on the Bartholomew page, as it was getting a bit nerdy. Details on individual maps, such as their first and last advertising dates, have been hived off to an expanded section under W. H. Smith on the Miscellaneous Cycle Publishers page. Although the same maps were also advertised by other publishers, the only versions one is likely to come across nowadays are the W. H. Smith ones.

 November 2024 - a few map additions to the G. W. Bacon page (Dumfriesshire, Chatham) and G. Philip & Son page (Lewes, Newhaven and Eastbourne).

 January 2025 – I have enlarged the areas of one or two of the earliest extracts, which were originally produced to a maximum width of about 160mm for adequate reproduction on A4 hard copy. Without that constraint there is in theory no limit on the size of potential extracts, up to A3 scanning size, but in practice it is difficult to find much bigger sections of maps which are free of tears, grubby folds, water damage etc. Even what appears to be a pristine map will show up foxing and other marks when scanned.

 New extracts since November are those of the Glasgow area (Development of Cycling), Newcastle upon Tyne (Bartholomew), Liverpool & Birkenhead (G. W. Bacon), Staffordshire (Miscellaneous Publishers – RAC), and Cambridge (Bartholomew).

March 2025 - I have added some internal hyperlinks to assist navigation around some of the lengthier pages. I have added a map and note on that long-forgotten cycling paradise - The Ripley Road (Development of Cycling page), and an extract of George. Philips' Cycling County Map of Sussex.

June 2025 - I have added an extract of the Bangor area from the Ordnance Survey Snowdonia Tourist Map (1966) - the last half-inch to a mile map produced by the OS. I have much expanded the Road Books page.

August 2025 - A few tinkerings. I have added two Ordnance Survey quarter-inch extracts: the Leeds/Sheffield area (1936), and part of Rowe's crib of the 1910 map covering The Chilterns. I have enlarged the Cornwall extract of Johnston's half-inch map to extend south to Newquay.

October 2025 - I have added an extract from Bacon's Cycling Map of Ireland (North) covering the Belfast area, another relic from the Bacon retirement home for old maps. I have greatly enlarged the Gall & Inglis 'County' map extract of South Wales, a rival for the most out-dated map to be mis-sold to gullible cyclists during the 1890s boom. 

November 2025 - I have added a section from Bacon's long-lived one-inch map of London, giving a snapshot of the northern extent of the capital just at the onset of the 1890s. I have also included an extract of the early Bartholomew half-inch map of the Leicester area. There is also a new Johnston map of the south midlands, taken from a John Player Tobacco 'freebie' of 1897.

April 2026 – Just a couple of new maps: an early Barts half-inch map of the Exeter and Newton Abbot area, and a half-inch map of the Belfast area by G. W. Bacon. Plus the usual text revisions and tweaks. On the Black Museum page I have added notes on some rather peculiar cycle maps of the Scottish borders.

May 2026 - I have included a short exerpt, together with its asociated sketch map, from Mecredy's Road Book of Ireland. It covers the island of Achill, on the west coast of County Mayo. It's very much of its time (1902): a decade earlier, prior to the extension of the railway, the island was well off the tourist track; the next edition of Mecredy's guide, entirely given over to motoring rather than cycling, gave the area less attention, perhaps due to the lack of motorable roads.

 Cycling Ups and Downs

Reading old cycling magazines one comes across queries as to what allowance should be made for the additional distance involved in cycling along a hilly road, compared to a flat one. Some commentators suggested adding as much as 10% in distance, which is a vast over-estimate (though an under-estimate in respect of time). In fact, taking distances from milestones would reflect ups and downs as their spacing would be obtained by accurate measurement along the the actual road centreline, hills and all.

To satisfy my (and no doubt the reader’s) curiosity I examined the case of the mountain road from Tornapress to Applecross, in the west of Scotland, the vertical profile of which is as taxing as any in Britain. This profile is given in this Blog under the Contour Road Book section of the Gall & Inglis page. Using the old six-inch to  a mile map available on the National Library of Scotland website, which shows over sixty intermediate spot heights and benchmarks, I disaggregated the road into that number of sections and applied Pythagarus to each. The end result was that in an overall distance of nearly twelve miles, the additional distance compared to a level road amounted to a mere 168 feet, a correction of about 0.27%. The cyclist would probably add a greater distance in ‘tacking’ up the steepest bits. Of course, nobody would be that picky about distances these days…

 Fifty Years of the Landranger

It seems like only yesterday... I still tend to think of the 1:50,000 Landranger maps, as replacements for the long-lived 'one inch' map, as a fairly recent innovation, but the map series celebrated its fiftieth birthday in 2024. It was 1974 when the sheets covering southern England and the whole of Wales appeared, the remainder of England and Scotland appearing in 1976.

 The 1974 sheets were, in fact, the old one-inch maps enlarged from 1:63,360 to 1:50,000, with partial metrication - the contours were those at the old 50ft interval though now labelled with heights in metres, like the spot heights, but the base map was unchanged. Map size was 40km by 40km, compared to the standard one-inch 45km by 40km; this meant a larger physical map which was less convenient for jacket pocket or saddlebag. Sheet boundaries were new, so in some cases it was worth snapping up the old one-inch while stocks lasted if the area was more convenient.

 There was some experimentation with content before the 1976 sheets appeared, termed 'Second Series' and fully metricated. As first published some administrative boundaries were shown in a bold dashed line: this caused the Snowdon sheet to be issued with a sticker pointing out that those striding across the mountains were not to be misinterpreted as footpaths!

 The scale of the old one-inch map was long considered on the large size for cycling use, but changing circumstances and habits now demand something on the 1:50,000 scale, which can clearly show all minor roads, tracks and routes through or avoiding complicated road junctions. The life-span of the Landranger has been in parallel with the development of the 1:25,000 Explorer maps as its only paper rival, other than bespoke local cycling maps, and with falling hard-copy sales it may be that only one of the two survives in that format. As an aside, I have recently been for a day ride without taking a paper map - the first time in sixty years, relying solely on the OS app.

Index of Map Extracts

 This list covers all map extracts included in this work, listed separately for England, Wales, Scotland,  Ireland and rest of Europe, broadly listing from north to south but keeping counties together. Dates are those of known or estimated publication: maps may be of much earlier origin. Many maps were also published under other publisher’s names. Scales are of course only applicable to the paper originals. Index updated May 2026.

 The clustering of maps in certain areas is deliberate, as it enables comparisons to be made between different publishers’ products and changes over time. Lnks are given to the respective page sections (not necessarily directly to the map in question): these are shown below in blue and open in a new window.
