Comments on map:
From photos of Redditch Urban District Council originals: sheets 1-13, 15, 17, 18, 20-28: unfortunately the missing ones include part of the town centre, and there is no title, index or legend sheet. Dated c.1870 in Worcestershire Record Office list. Only marginalia are sheet and adjoining sheet numbers. [The 'missing' sheets no doubt account for the apparently surprising omissions, though others, notably altitudes, are systematic.]
