Hampshire based mapping giants Ordnance Survey which celebrates their 225 anniversary this month have selected the top ten maps that have shaped the OS.
The choice has been made by David Henderson, director of products, who commented: “It’s been 225 years since OS was founded and 215 years since we published our first map.
“I’m not sure if we could work out how many cumulative square miles we’ve surveyed in that time, but I do know there are a few highlights in our history that really stand out for me and for my cartography colleagues too.”
