At the lower left is a scale line in a shaded cartouche:-
SCALE
The scale line is chequered in miles, 10 miles = 93.3mm, gives
a scale of 1 to 172491 assuming a statute mile, ie the map scale
is about:-
1 to 170000
3 miles to 1 inch
The latitude scale provides another indicator of scale. 40
minutes of latitude = 413 mm gives a scale 1 to 179691. The map
scale is about:-
1 to 180000
3 miles to 1 inch

table of symbols
|
Printed upper left is a table of symbols:-
EXPLANATION
Chief Places of County Election
[maltese cross with a dot and arrow]
Polling Places [maltese
cross]
Boroughs returning Two Members [2
asterisks attached to place symbol]
Boroughs returning One Member [1
asterisk attached to place symbol]
Boundaries of Boroughs [dashed
line]
Division of Counties [dot dash
line]
RAILWAYS & NAMES OF STATIONS [very bold
line, double dotted line labelled TUNNEL, large dot and station
name in block caps]
TELEGRAPH LINES & STATIONS [hatching
added to railway line and station dot]
RAILWAYS IN PROGRESS [very bold dotted
line]
This clearly takes many symbols used on the map for granted,
conventional and familiar to the intended users. The symbols
remarked are for electoral data which is still relatively new
since the Reform Act 1832 and subsequent acts, and for railways
and telegraphs which are the very latest thing.
|
sea plain
sandbanks
foreshore
rocks
sea marks
lighthouses
islands
buoys
wrecks
|
The sea is plain. Some areas are labelled, eg:-
ENGLISH CHANNEL
CHRISTCHURCH BAY
THE SOLENT
SPITHEAD
Foreshore mud or sand flats and sandbanks are drawn with a
dotted line and might be labelled, eg:-
Bramble
Middle
Horse Sand
Spit Bank
Rocks are shown on the Shingles by little Xs.
SHINGLES
A conical buoy is drawn and labelled:-
Royal George
marking the wreck of this ship which was a hazard to
navigation, removed later in the century.
A sea mark is shown by labelling, only:-
Jack in the Basket
and there is a:-
Light Ho.
indicated on Hurst Spit.
Some of the smaller islands are shown within Portsmouth and
Langstone Harbours, some labelled, eg:-
Horsea I.
Whale I.
|
coast line
coast shaded
harbours
shipyards
headlands
coast appearance
|
The coast line is emphasised by shading. A variety of coastal
features are labelled, eg:-
Hengistbury or Christchurch
Head
Stans Ore Point
At a few places there is an attempt to show the coast
appearance; for instance, indication of low cliffs between
Browndown Point and Titchfield Haven:-
Harbours are noticed and labelled, but the name is sometimes
implied by the nearby place as at Christchurch where is:-
Haven
Titchfd. Haven
Langston Harbour
PORTSMOUTH HARBOUR
which also has:-
Dock Yard
There is another
Dock Yard
at Buckler's Hard on the Beaulieu River.
|
coastal defence
castles
fortifications
|
The coastal defences about the Solent are marked; both the
Henry VIII castles and more modern fortifications:-
Hurst Cas.
Calshot Cas.
Netley castle
Browndown Fort
Fort Monkton
Block H.
South Sea castle
Forts (on Southsea shore)
Cumberland Ft.
Southsea Castle's symbol looks a bit like a square with
buttresses, but the symbols are not particularly distinctive.
Fortifications are shown by zigzag lines, suggestive, but no
better, of polygonal artillery style fortifications, at Gosport,
Portsmouth and Portsmouth dockyard:-
and all along the north shore of Portsea Island,
labelled:-
The Li[n]es
|
rivers
ponds
bridges
fords
|
Rivers are drawn by wiggly lines tapering inland from their
estuaries which have shading continued in from the coast. Broader
parts of rivers are drawn with a double line. A few rivers are
labelled, eg:-
Avon R
Crockford Water [east of
Boldre]
Blackwater River
Ex or Beaulieu River
Dark Water [near Stans Ore
Point]
Some of the river names are less common on other maps. An
upper part of the Test, about Whitchurch, is labelled:-
Anton R
but so is the tributary of the Test from Andover. The
tributary usually called the Bourne Rivulet, through St Marty
Bourne, is labelled:-
Test R.
Just what firm test can be used to determine which branch at a
junction is the tributary and which the main stream!
Braiding is drawn, for example at Breamore on the Avon. And
all the river systems are drawn with many tributaries.
Some ponds are marked, and might be labelled, eg:-
Woolmer Pond
Gomer Pond (near
Browndown)
The pond at Alresford is drawn but not labelled. Two ponds are
shown at Fleet, named only by the adjacent:-
FLEET POND STATION
on the railway.
A pond might be shaded, as at Woolmer, or not, as at
Alresford.
Bridges are mostly indicated by a road interrupting a river.
Some are named, eg:-
Avon Bri. [over the Avon at
Avon]
Iford Br.
Kitcomb Br [near Leckford]
Other bridges are suggested by place names, such as
Fordingbridge, Stockbridge, Horse Bridge Station, etc. There is a
gap in the river drawn at:-
Palmers Ford
|
relief
hill hachuring
|
Relief is indicated by hill hachuring, with several of the
hills or groups of hills labelled, eg:-
Borroughclere Hill
Weavers Hill [NE of Liss]
Winchester Hill [Old Winchester
Hill]
Portsdown Hill
Quarley Mount
Mount Pleasant [N of Sherfield
English]
Duckholt Hills
where Buckholt Forest should be marked and labelled.
Again there are place names on this map which may not occur on
other maps.
Other hill names might be impied by settlement names, Filmer
Hill for instance.
|
beacons
|
Beacons are no longer an important feature of the landscape,
but some of the old beacon locations are remembered in hill
names, eg:-
Beacon Hill [by Dibden, the Hythe
Beacon]
Beacon Hill [N of Farley]
|
woods
forests
trees
vegetation
commons
|
Woods and forests are marked by group of tree symbols, some
labelled, eg:-
Faccombe Wood
Dole Wood
NEW FOREST
FOREST of BERE [East Bere
Forest]
Alice Holt Forest
WOOLMER FOREST
which last has no trees, a reminder that 'forest' is a hunting
area rather then a lot of trees.
There is a:-
Boundary Tree
marked as a single tree south of Dibden in the New Forest
area. There are the:-
Half Moon Trees
marked as a small group east of Paulton Park.
A number of downs, commons, heaths, etc are labelled, eg:-
Beaulieu Heath
Arnwood Common
Easton Down [E of
Winchester]
Waltham Chace
Longwood Warren
Some of the common areas are marked by pecking plus small bush
symbols. This is also used for undergrowth in some woodland areas
of East Bere Forest and is all that is marked for Woolmer
Forest.
|
parks
|
Parks are drawn by an outline with upright fence palings.
These include more than the ancient formally emparked areas. Most
of the parks enclose a house; some have trees and other
vegetation. Their shapes and sizes attempt to represent the
extent of the estate. Labelling is in lowercase italic text,
eg:-
Husborn Park
Bramshill Park
Tangier
|
county
|
The county boundary is a dashed line, except where a river or
the sea coast takes over the function. (The boundary between the
electoral 'County Divisions', north and south Hampshire, is a dot
dash line, as shown in the table of symbols.) The county boundary
is tinted because it is also a division boundary.
The boundaries between adjacent counties are irregular, some
shown, eg Wiltshire/Dorset, some not, eg Surrey/West Sussex. The
detached part of Wiltshire north of Silchester is drawn. The
detached part of Hampshire in West Sussex is not drawn.
Adjacent counties are labelled, eg:-
WILT SHIRE
|
hundreds
|
Hundred boundaries are dotted lines. The hundred names are in
large light block caps across the map, eg:-
WHERWELL HD.
ALTON HUNDRED
PART OF ODIHAM H.
|
boroughs
|
The table of symbols gives a fine dashed line for borough
boundaries. These are not prominent among all the other detail on
the map; and remember that the map postdates the Reform Act 1832
and other reforms, that some old boroughs are no more. The
boundaries around Winchester and Lymington, for example, are easy
to see; that round Andover is less easy, or absent.
|
settlements
streets
electoral data
|
Settlements are shonw by blocks or groups of blocks
representing buildings, along roads and streets. In the larger
places these make a street plan of sorts. The parish church, or
other, even a cathedral, is shown by a drawing of a church
symbol, building and tower. Places are graded by the amount of
building and their text labels.
|
city
|
A city is drawn by groups of blocks along streets, the
cathedral drawn by building and tower; labelled in upright block
caps, eg:-
WINCHESTER [maltese cross and arrow,
square, two stars]
This city has other churches as well, named, eg:-
St Cross
St Giles
Winchester has a maltese cross and arrow indicating that it is
a Chief Place of County Election (so is Southampton) and has two
asterisks indicating that it returns two members to Parliament.
The borough boundary is a dashed line.
|
|
|
town
|
A town is drawn the same way as a as a city. For example,
Southampton has all the features that Winchester has.
A smaller town is shown by blocks grouped on streets making a
street plan, plus a church shown by a building with a tower;
labelled in upright block caps, eg:-
ALTON
This town has a maltese cross to show that it is a Polling
Place.
|
|
|
village
|
A village is shown by a scatter of blocks along roads, plus a
church drawn by building and tower; labelled in upright
lowercase, eg:-
Selbourn
There might not be a church.
|
|
|
hamlet
|
A hamlet is shown by fewer blocks scatterd along a road;
labelled in lowercase italic, eg:-
Oakhanger
Upr. Sombourn
|
|
|
house
|
A geat house might be drawn as a house; and labelled, eg:-
Titchborne House
Most houses are drawn with a park, eg:-
Boldrewood Lodge
There are named houses without any symbol, eg:-
Blue Hou.
east of Hartley Westpall.
|
|
|
farm
|
As well as houses and estates the map labels a number of
farms, eg:-
Ford F. [SW of Odiham]
Priory Fa. [S of Hartley
Mauditt]
Farm [7m W from Andover by
road]
|
|
|
roads
turnpike gates
road distances
distances from London
|
Roads are drawn by a double line, solid or dotted presumably
indicating fenced and unfenced edges. Two grades of road are
shown, distinguished by width. The whole county is covered by a
network of large and small roads; the larger roads including
nearly all the 'Ogilby' routes and other of equal prominence. It
is worth noting that the Ogilby route London-Southampton that
ignored Winchester now takes an abrupt turn to the city across
easton Down. The older route is still there, continuing through
Morestead and Twyford by narrower roads.
Some routes are named. The London - Basingstoke - Andver -
Salisbury road is:-
The Great Western Road
The Andover - Amesbury continuation of the route is called
the:-
Warminster Road
The road across the county through Wickham and Cosham is:-
The Salisbury & Bath Rd
In all this can be seen changes of perception of routes from
those of Ogilby's period. It would be interesting to compare the
route names with earlier sources; Ogilby's route titles, Cary's
itinerary names, in particular.
Roads out of the county have their destination or start,
given, perhaps with a distance. Eg:-
to Chichester from Havant
9M.
from Amesbury to Andover
14M.
from Cranborne
to Newbury
A few roads have names, eg:-
Popham La
Gravel Hill (SW of Rake)
A few junctions are named, eg:-
Lobcomb Corner
and
Cross Ways
on Hinton Common north of Christchurch.
Two gates are labelled:-
Hatchet Gate
WSW of Beaulieu, and
Hampshire Gate
NNE of Tangley. These might be turnpike gates?
Some of the larger roads are marked with distances each mile,
excepting where there is no space to engrave the number. The
distances might be from London, for example on the road entering
the county at Blackwater are numbers 31, 32, 33, etc on the route
through Basingstoke. Where the route divides, at Basingstoke, the
numbers continue correctly down each branch. Other roads have
distances from a local start; thus the road from Stockbridge is
numbered eastwards towards Basingstoke. This road's numbering
starts again near Wonston. Following the numbering you can see
that Cruchley does not think of the route from Popham corner
being a route to Salisbury, but a route to to Winchester, to
which the numbering leads (though the Salisbury route is named
'London Road' just NE of Wonston).

Route diagram:- |

railways
|
Railways are added to the map, engraved over and obliterating
some original features. They are shown by very bold solid lines
with large dots for stations, with equally bold dotted lines for
routes 'in progress' which may or may not have happened:-
Routes are labelled in bold upright block caps along the
lines, eg:-
SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY MAIN
LINE
for the London and Southampton Railway which had become the
London and South Western Railway, LSWR, in 1839. Stations are
also labelled in bold upright block caps, eg:-
WINCHESTER STA.
ANDOVER JUN STA.
Tunnels are shown by a double dotted line, the width matching
the width of the bold solid line, labelled:-
TUNNEL
for example, north of Micheldever Station.
A thorough analysis of the railways might be interesting. At
least one of the lines in progress was never built, that shown
from Petersfield to Bishops Waltham.
|
telegraphs
|
The map shows telegraphs, closely associated with the
railways, by hatching alongside the railway line with telegraph
stations marked by hatching around the railway station's dot.
These are electric telegraphs. Not all railway stations were
telegraph stations. See for example the telegraph running
alongside all the London and Southampton line, with telegraph
stations at Basingstoke, Winchester, Bishopstoke (better known
now as Eastleigh) and Southampton only. Some lines have no
telegraph.
See:-
BASINGSTOKE STA
with the telegraph along the LSWR and the Berks and Hants
lines, and a telegraph station.
The telegraph from near Brockenhurst Junction to Lymington
follows the line of the road not the railway, going to a
telegraph station in the town. This line continues independently
of railway to Keyhaven and thence to Hurst Castle telegraph
station, and across the mouth of The Solent to the Isle of Wight,
and by land to an end telegraph station at Cowes.
See:-
at Lymington, and
at Hurst Castle.
The telegraphs mapped are electric telegraphs, the 'two
needle' telegraph invented by Cooke and Wheatstone. Railways were
probably the best customers for this then new form of
communication. See:-

|
canals
|
Canals have a distinctive method of drawing, a triple line,
light bold light. The following canals can be recognised:-
|
Basingstoke Canal
|
from Basingstoke eastward to the Surrey border, and its branch
from North Warnborough northwards to Turgis Green which was never
cut and had probably been given up decades before the map was
drawn. The section in a tunnel at Greywell is drawn by a single
dotted line. Bridges over the canal are clearly shown by the
track or road interrupting it. Labelled:-
Basingstoke Canal
|
|
|
Portsmouth and Arundel Canal
|
The section across Portsea Island is shown from Milton to
Portsmouth, even though closed by the time the map was
published.
|
|
|
Itchen Navigation
|
The only suggestion of an Itchen Navigation is a stretch of
the river named:-
Barge R.
|
miscellaneous
|
|
race courses
|
The map shows a few of the county's race courses:-
Stockbridge Course
labelled, and marked by an oval of double dotted line north
west of the town.
Winchester Race Grd.
is labelled on Worthy Down north of the city.
Race Gro,
labels the oval of Lyndhurst race course, just north east of
the town.
|
antiquities
tumuli
hillforts
roman camps
roman roads
|
A number of antiquities are shown on the map, marked and/or
labelled. This includes some doubtful 'roman camps' for hillforts
and perhaps too many 'Cromwell's camps'. Examples:-
Quarley Mount and Camp
[hillfort]
Keats or Canutes Barrow
Camp [Danebury hillfort]
Roman Camp [Old Winchester Hill
earthwork]
Amphitheatre [W of
Silchester]
Cromwells Camp [SE of
Winchester]
Oliver Cromwell's Camp [W of
Winchester]
There are also roads labelled:-
Roman Road
as just south of Dibden which may or may not be that. And
roman roads like:-
Port Way
|
inns
|
The map marks a number of inns on roads, mostly by label
alone, eg:-
Bottom Inn
about mile 59 on the road to Portsmouth south of Petersfield.
And:-
Sun Inn
Wheatsheaf Inn
both on Popham Lane outside Basingstoke.
Inn
at mile 43+ on the Western Road west of Nately Scures.
|
crosses
|
Wood Cross
is shown by a cross on Nursling Common.
|
posts
|
Several posts are noticed on the map. Eg:-
Wilverly Post [drawning of a finger
post?]
Picked Post [E of Ringwod]
Wollymore Post [E of Hale]
|
monuments
|
Rufus's Stone
is labelled in the New Forest.
|
army camps
barracks
hospitals
|
The British Army's new camps at Aldershot are marked by arrays
of squares, labelled:-
NTH. CAMP
STH. CAMP
with North Camp Station nearby.
On Portsea Island, partly overprinted by the railway, is:-
H[ors]ea B[ar]racks
And:-
Haslar Hosp
NETLEY HOSP.
are marked and labelled.
|
mills
water mills
windmills
|
A spiked wheel symbol on the River Meon marks:-
Funtly Mill
North of Bentworth there is a post mill symbol:-

RAILWAY LINES |
|
|
Railways are listed in date order, under a conventional name
(matching the term used in the Old Hampshire Gazetteer); this is
often the name of the original railway company proposing the
line. The notes show what Cruchley labels on his map, with some
supporting notes.
