This one came in from Fosseway a while back, but it's proved incredibly tricky to stitch and georeference.
Finally it's in a state where we can put it online - again it's one of those really rare mid-1930s Ten Mile Road Maps, so the condition isn't ideal, with some tearing around the fold lines, but it's still quite a lovely thing.
It really fills in the gap between the 1932 and 1934 editions that we've had available for some time now, and allows us to really pin down some of those short-lived 1930s roads, and also combined with others shows us things like the A5103 in Manchester was created in April 1934 (not 1933).
Enjoy the detective work!

Re: 1933 Ten Mile Road Map of Great Britain
Thanks both, well, we've got the North Orbital still under construction south of St Albans, before it appears as open on the 1934 map... Spotting the differences between the 1933 and 1932 map is trickier though....
Is there a road improvement project going on near you? Help us to document it on the SABRE Wiki - help is available in the Digest forum.

Lovely!
Also purple B roads look good on there.

Re: 1933 Ten Mile Road Map of Great Britain
I've spotted that the B5411 north of Preston is erroneously listed as the B6411 on the 1932 and 1933 editions, before being corrected on the 1934 map!
My old posts are just downright embarrassing.
