About This Item
Lympne Castle: Harry Margary, 1991. First edition (hardback), volume 8 (Northern England). 4to (34cm by 25cm), lxxii, 125 pages of maps. Original blue cloth, but lacks the dustwrapper. This book was formerly in a reference library, with a couple of discreet stamps, but the book is nonetheless in good to very good condition overall. High-quality reproductions of sheets 91-110 of the old series of the ordnance survey, covering England north of the Preston-Hull line, plus the Isle of Man. The editors used the earliest copies of the maps they could get their hands on; in this volume the maps were published between 1847 and 1874. Volume 8 is the rarest volume in the series; it has been rumoured that much of the stock was destroyed in a warehouse fire, and it certainly went out of print extremely quickly. ISBN 0903541459
