OS Quarter Inch annual revisions

[Ritchie333]

The first thing that leapt out is the 1959 revision, which shows the A40 Ross on Wye bypass complete, whereas my understanding is this was still under construction. However, as that's an English scheme, it's partially cropped off the end of the map.

The Wiki 1960s page says the bypass was opened on 3 September 1960 and the M50 on 28 November.

I'm more drawn to the vast network of railways shown on the 1959 map. The interior of Wales has stations seemingly in the middle of nowhere. What amazing heritage lines they would make today if someone had the money and will to restore them.

I was looking at that too. I drove through Newbridge on Wye on Sunday; I had no idea there was a former line and station there.

Good to see the M4 and M5 progress as you work through the set.

New on SABRE Maps are four additional OS Quarter Inch maps from the immediate post-war period. Whilst SABRE Maps already has a large collection from this era, these additional editions of the following sheets from the England and Wales series:
* Sheet 1 (The Border) Revision 20046
* Sheet 7 (South Wales) Revision 2027
* Sheet 12 (England, South East and London) Revision 25045/Ch

And the following from the Scottish series:
* Sheet 4 (Glasgow and the Middle West) Revision 2019


They can be found on the OS Quarter Inch section of SABRE Maps, on the 1945, 1946, 1948 and 1950 layers.

This means that we're only missing five post-war editions of this series - could you help us acquire these, perhaps by scanning items in your personal collection?
