FA2002.653:-
|
Map, colour lithograph, Hampshire, scale about 4 miles to 1 inch, published
by George Philip and Son, London and Liverpool, Lancashire, about 1857, edition
about 1900.
|
|
The map was probably first included in Philips' County Atlas of England and
Wales, 1857. The railways include the Lee-on-the-Solent Light Railway opened
1894, but not the Meon Valley line authorized 1897, opened 1903, nor the
Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway opened 1901. This suggests it is the edition
published about 1900.
