Comments on map:

Recorded relates to Aston township and adjoining area, rather than the whole map. Separate book of reference: Reference to a plan of the parish of Aston, juxta Birmingham, in the county of Warwick, from a survey made in the years, 1832-3-4, Birmingham, printed for the proprietor by B. Hudson, Bull Street, 1835: this suggests that the date of the map is 1835 rather than 1833. The reference gives the dates of survey and the surveyors for the hamlets: Aston, Castle Bromwich, Water Orton, 1833, John Walker; Erdington, Witton, 1833, William Fowler; Little Bromwich, Saltley & Washwood, 1833, Robert Massey; Duddeston & Nechells, 1833, Washington Boultbee & Robert Massey; Bordesley, Deritend, 1834, Washington Boultbee.
