Table Map
Hard to decide whether here or Street Furniture is the right thread.
I wandered into a curios shop, not looking for or intending to buy anything. I'm not one for impulse buying either so, 5 seconds after seeing this, I snapped it up.
No date on the map so, what is the consensus? Various bypass clues, too small to see. I can't post at original size, as it is more than 508kb

Roads and holidays in the west, before motorways.

Re: Table Map
My eyes aren't really good enough to see it - no obvious motorways though. Is the Barnet Bypass or Great Cambridge Road down to the roundway built?
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.

Re: Table Map
Yes, it has Barnet bypass and also.Welwyn. Chichester, Chelmsford, Colchester, Egham, Bagshot, Basingstoke, Twyford, Dartford 1st, Lenham. Reading seems to have the red A4 still through the centre. The early bypass is brown but, there are no numbers on either section. Could be a mistake though.

Re: Table Map
Have a look through Network changes - 1950s and its attendant pages for other decades - they're designed to help in situations like this.
Other obvious things to look for are numbers that changed in the 1935 Road numbering revision.

Re: Table Map
Markyate and Ashford from 1957 are not there. There is nothing from the 40's on this map but, Caterham and Sompting from 1939 are there. So, early 50's I guess. Chichester isn't on the Network Changes but, is on the table map.

Chichester was a 20s road, so that makes sense...SteveA30 wrote:Markyate and Ashford from 1957 are not there. There is nothing from the 40's on this map but, Caterham and Sompting from 1939 are there. So, early 50's I guess. Chichester isn't on the Network Changes but, is on the table map.

Re: Table Map
Look like the Quarter Inch 4th series sheet 12 c. 1946

Re: Table Map
1946 has both old and rerouted A4 in Reading in red. So does the 1930 OS. However, the A555 runs past Barnet and the A500 past Watford. Wiki refers to renumbering there 'around 1954'. This would suggest early 50's. The brown A4 in Reading may have been an error in one specific year only.

Re: Table Map
The '51 Barts atlas has the A555, but the '53 doesn't - so a little bit earlier than '54 I suspect.SteveA30 wrote:1946 has both old and rerouted A4 in Reading in red. So does the 1930 OS.
