Coventry is UK City of Culture, 2021. A full colour map, based on a digitised map of the city of Coventry in 1913, with its medieval past overlain and important buildings picked out. For many people, the history of Coventry is synonymous with the devastation of the Second World War. The Blitz and post-war reconstruction are widely perceived to have erased all traces of medieval heritage, but in fact Coventry has a rich surviving medieval history that few people know about. From the mid-14th to the mid-16th centuries Coventry was the 'boom town' of England and the seat of royal power. By the earl 20th century it was an engineering and manufacturing powerhouse. This map brings it to life.

A full colour map, based on digitised OS maps of Alnwick and Alnmouth of about 1920, with its Anglo-Saxon and medieval past overlain and important buildings picked out. The map's cover has a short introduction to the area's history, and on the reverse an illustrated and comprehensive gazetteer of Alnwick's and Alnmouth's main sites of historic interest. The back of the map has coloured early views of buildings, monuments and street scenes of Alnwick and Alnmouth. The map has been created by a team of people representing the various historical societies of Alnwick and Alnmouth, a number of individuals with specific local knowledge and the curators of local historical collections, including the extensive archives of both the Duke of Northumberland and Bailiffgate Museum. Members of the team have previously produced works on particular aspects of the area's history, including the town itself, local heritage heroes, the Abbey, the Shrovetide Football Game and the district during the Great War.

R327 R276 Discovery Miles 2 760 Save R51 (16%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A full colour map showing London in about 1520 - its many churches, monasteries, legal inns, guild halls, and a large number of substantial private houses, in the context of the streets and alleyways that survived the Great Fire and can still be discovered. Dominating the city are the Tower of London in the east, the old St Paul's Cathedral in the west and London Bridge in the south. The city was largely contained within its medieval walls and ditches but shows signs of spilling out into the great metropolis it was destined to be. This is a second edition of a map first published in 2018, incorporating changes to the map as new information has become available. The map has been the Historic Towns Trust's number one best seller since publication and has been very well received. The new edition has a revised cover and illustrations.

Bristol in 1480 - A Medieval Merchant City (Sheet map, folded): Giles Darkes, Helen Fulton Bristol in 1480 - A Medieval Merchant City (Sheet map, folded)
Giles Darkes, Helen Fulton
R263 R220 Discovery Miles 2 200 Save R43 (16%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A full colour map, where the city in about 1480 is shown against a background of a detailed Ordnance Survey of the early 20th century. In 1480, a high-ranking official called William Worcestre revisited his native city of Bristol and wrote a detailed description of all the streets and their buildings and the activities that went on there. Worcestre's description, combined with archaeological information and historical research, has allowed the recreation in map form of the city at that time. It was a prosperous and growing city, already trading extensively with Europe and poised to start a new trade with the Americas. Its merchant houses, churches and largely vanished city walls show a town that was easily one of the top five in England in the late Middle Ages. The map's cover has a short introduction to the city in 1480 and an explanation of who William Worcestre was. On the reverse is an illustrated and comprehensive gazetteer of Bristol's main sites of medieval interest. Produced in association with the University of Bristol.

R289 R262 Discovery Miles 2 620 Save R27 (9%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A full colour map, based on digitised OS maps of Swansea of about 1919, with its medieval past overlain and important buildings picked out. The map includes an inset map of Mumbles and its medieval castle. In the Middle Ages, Swansea (Abertawe) became a centre for trade around the mouth of the river Tawe. Following Norman control of the area, Swansea Castle was established in the early 12th century and a borough charter was granted at the end of that century. Great growth began in the 17th century with the establishment of copper-smelting in the area of the lower Tawe valley, an industry which grew until Swansea was the world capital of the copper industry - hence its nickname of 'Copperopolis'. Initially using ore from Cornwall, Swansea took advantage of its local coal resources and its good port facilities to process copper, arsenic, tin, gold and other metals, using imported raw materials from all over the world. The port exported the final products, along with many tons of coal. At the time of the background map shown here, heavy industry and its spoil heaps dominated the lower Tawe valley, and extensive docks dominated the south of the town, but evidence of its medieval past and its street layout survived. The remains of the Norman castle became a workhouse and the course of the river Tawe had been altered to make access for ships easier.

R273 R243 Discovery Miles 2 430 Save R30 (11%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A full colour map, based on a digitised map of the city of Canterbury in 1907, with its Roman, Anglo-Saxon and medieval past overlain and important buildings picked out. Founded as the Roman town of Durovernum Cantiacorum, Canterbury grew to be more important than London. Canterbury Cathedral became a major European centre of pilgrimage following the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in 1170 and the centre of the Anglican church after the Reformation. Although damaged in the Second World War, its many surviving medieval buildings make it a major attraction for visitors and home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The map shows a small cathedral city in 1907 with large buildings, surrounded by orchards and a remarkable military presence. The map's cover has a short introduction to the city's history, and on the reverse an illustrated and comprehensive gazetteer of Canterbury's main sites of interest, from the city's Roman theatre and forum to medieval monasteries, the city's walls and its castle. Produced with Canterbury Archaeological Trust and Canterbury Christ Church University.
