Welcome Post

 

Hi there, map-lovers! 

Available on this site is a complete history of cycling maps, including well over a hundred 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 is now much expanded. 

Included as individual pages are

  • Introduction
  • Development of Cycling
  • individual pages on the various map publishers
  • 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 horizintal display of page names, or the following layer symbol in the top left corner of the Home Page:


 An index to all the map extracts (now totalling 130) included in this Blog is given at the end of this Post.

 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

 February 2024 - I have added a new section on Bartholomew Small-scale National Maps - those at 10, 13 and 16 inches to the mile, with some representative map extracts. I note that the Bartholomew page accounts for about 25% of the whole blog, though this probably under-represents their share of the cycling map market. As a pdf this one blog page runs to over sixty 'paper' pages!

 April 2024 - I have added a few further extracts - a Geographia map of part of Hertfordshire, duplicating that of rivals Geographers already included, and a fine Cruchley extract of the Carlisle area of the 1860s - just pre-dating the 'boneshaker' era, but a map that was to remain a cycling favourite until the end of the nineteenth century and beyond. This brings the total number of map extracts (excluding map covers etc) to 117. I'm not planning to do much further work on the site in the forthcoming months.

 August 2024 - a few map extracts have been tweaked or enlarged. Additions are half-inch maps of the Dublin area by G.W.Bacon and R. J. Mecredy: the former a simple rebranding of an older map, the second a studious attempt at providing information for cyclists. I have added a Nottinghamshire extract of Bartholomew's half-inch map to highlight speed over accuracy in adding new roads, and a curious map of part of Czechia, showing one publisher's attempt at indicating the hilliness of roads.

 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).

 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…

 A Century of Road Numbering

2023 marked a hundred years since the official publication of the classification of British main roads - the network of 'A' and 'B' roads (motorways did not appear until 1958). Since 1909 motorists had been paying into the Road Fund, which was intended to be a ring-fenced pot of money to pay for new and improved roads. It would be spent through a system of grants to local authorities, with higher rates of grant to the more important roads. This required a national road classification system  to be Introduced. Work was started prior to World War One, but it was not until 1919 that significant resources were available through the newly-formed Ministry of Transport. A considerable amount of consulation was undertaken, as the contemporary 'main road' network was largely that inherited from the old turnpike era, having seen virtually no road building for half a century, and not necessarily meeting the needs of motor traffic.

 The finalised network was published in 1923, with a definitive list and accompanying maps of the new Class 1 and Class 2 roads, referenced as 'A' and 'B' roads (there was also a third class - 'classified unnumbered': these would not be included in the national numbering scheme but locally-numbered and some county councils did mark their 'C' roads on their signposts). Map publishers were quick to add these numbers to their maps (some in advance of official publication), though the Ordnance Survey was slow to adopt them, preferring to retain its sytem of indicating roads by quality rather than by its allocated class. However, it did publish a separate series of index maps showing the new classifications, an extract of which is given on the Ordnance Survey page under 'half-inch' maps. Some more notes on the numbering system and its development are given on the 'How to Date Maps' page.

 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 1:63,660 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.

 

Index of Map Extracts

 This list covers all map extracts included in this work, listed separately for England Wales, Scotland and Ireland, 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. Updated January 2025.

 The clustering of maps in certain areas is deliberate, as it enables comparisons to be made between different publishers’ products and changes over time
