[Maps] - New layer!
The 1962 OS Quarter Inch layer can be found under, not surprisingly, the "OS Quarter Inch" menu and consists of Revision B of Sheet 10, North Wales and Lancashire.

Re: [Maps] - New layer!
I believe that the "c.1961 layer" may well be the A revision across the board, so the initial set of Fifth Edition Quarter Inch. The North Wales and Lancashire sheet was the first one printed in April 1957, and then the 1962 layer shows the next revision (B, October 1962).si404 wrote:Excellent. The c.1961 layer is often several years older in much of the region (~1955 around the Preston area?)

This time it's from 1964, and is the Quarter Inch sheet 7 Firth of Forth, Revision B - showing the brand-new Forth Road Bridge, the approach roads and all sorts of other 1960s goodies. You can easily compare it to the A revision held on the "c.1961" Quarter Inch layer.

There is also a temporary terminus with roundabout where the 'M80' meets the A872, and when looking on Google Earth, there is some evidence of an old carriageway alignment here, although no sign of a roundabout.
My mission is to travel every road and visit every town, village and hamlet in the British Isles.
I don't like thinking about how badly I am doing.
From the SABRE Wiki: M80 :
The M80 is a motorway in Scotland linking Glasgow with Stirling. It was formerly in two sections, the Stepps Bypass at the southern end, and the Haggs - Stirling section at the northern end, linked by a section of A80. This section of A80 was upgraded to M80, opening in late summer 2011.
The motorway starts on the M8 in Glasgow at Junction 13.
Whilst the M8 continues to the northeast we head
