Comments on map:

BM 1967 catalogue dates it 1850, but the original is likely to be rather earlier, as the railways all seem to have been superimposed, and the reference number for Temple Meads station is higher than it ought to be having regard to the others thereabouts. Most buildings numbered: no reference available.
