Bradford Libraries are pleased to announce the launch of a new website, focusing on the hidden histories within maps and plans in the Local Studies Library
Maps and plans, especially when used in conjunction with other documents, are one of the most valuable sources of information for the local historian and geographer.
In this continuing series of regular posts, the author of our ‘Map of the Week’ feature, local historian Derek Barker, explores the hidden history within a selection of the maps and plans from the collection at Bradford Local Studies Library, focusing in particular on the 19th Century.
This is one of the regular emails I get, many of which are really worthwhile. No doubt you can work out for yourself how to get on the mailing list. Les
