Comments on map:
18 of at least 31 sheets, mostly numbered inside neat line. No adjoining numbers. All are headed 'Copyright Reserved', top centre. Sheets 3, 7, 9-15, 20, 23-31. Extends along roads out of town, to show course of sewers or water mains: discontinuity makes extent mapping different, but it appears that Ordnance Survey sheet layout was used, and added to by extensions at various angles (see north points), which would make an interesting index. It means a lot of white paper on most sheets. Style follows OS quite closely, though lettering is larger.
