I’ve just received my copy of Yloande Hodson’s book “The Ordnance Survey Popular Edition One-Inch maps of England and Wales” from the Charles Close Society, probably the definitive work on the Fourth Edition maps.

I’m currently working on scanning, stitching and positioning several new maps:
13 Kirkby Stephen and Appleby
120 Bridgewater and Quantock Hills
82 Stratford on Avon
125 Guildford and Horsham
139 Sidmouth and Bridgeport
142 Isle of Wight

I’m going back to my fallback plan.
Level 3 tiles : 230MB hosted on ponies [...]
I’ve moved my tile server script to point at tiles.snaffle.me.uk, the site appeared to be down for some time this morning, but it is up now. I’m already looking again for another web-hoster, a more reliable one! I doubt I can find one that’s cheaper!
Maps added are:
4th Series 114, 93, 105
I’m now automatically geo-referencing many of the scans using a cassini projection.
This brings the number of maps to:
4th Series: 18
