Comments on map:

This seems to be an urban counterpart to the 1:2376 map [Exeter 21511]: both are stamped 10 Aug 1852 by P.L.B. [Poor Law Board]. Rating seems likely, but I cannot find any reference to rate books, etc, of the period in the surviving Folkestone borough Archives. Execution is not very refined, but all houses are numbered, and the map seems adequate for its purpose. [No reference to hand.] Very little text, and no date, title or scale.
