Comments on map:
Apparently in 10 sheets, nos 1-10, but 9 is now missing: there are also three smaller supplementary sheets, 6A, 7A and 11. Tends to follow streets: not much mapping of areas behind buildings, especially on roads leading in and out of town. Presemably a direct derivative from the 1:528 [Exeter 17237]. Nottinghamshire Archives date it c.1865-8, presumably from annotations.
