Comments on map:

Recorded from photocopy. Box centre bottom: 'Issued with Connell and Bailey's Popular Illustrated 'Express' Guide to Stockport': very similar to Exeter 19298, except that has building infill [drawing is not common to the two, and this extends outside borough boundary]; looks very much like a fairly straight Ordnance Survey transcript (presumably with later streets, etc), with hedgerow trees in the unbuiltup parts.
