Comments on map:

Very similar to Exeter 16581, but no enlargement of detail, and scale is 1:2376 rather than 1:3168. Extensive pencil lines in north-eastern part seem to be indications of later sheets rather than construction lines. [Sally Sheppard at Rotherham Archives says that this is from a private collection rescued from Borough Surveyor or similar.]
