Commentary/Discussion

JacobTheRox, 10mmsocket; I will have a crack at these as I have online maps from 1840 onwards which have a side-by-side facility so you can see modern-day satellite imaging against the map, and I can cross-reference with Jowetts Atlas. Might take a little time, but I can get it done. The joy of all things (talk) 08:14, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
Although Cobb's Atlas would help greatly, but that costs too much! The joy of all things (talk) 08:36, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
