Following Tony Campbell's brief announcement I must admit that I have been
trying to find the time to put out a more expanded and explanatory notice
regarding the same exhibtion *and associated event*. The archivist
responsible has also sent me A5 flyers for tabling at this weekend's IMCoS
events. From the coloured illustrated poster, from a press release, and
from a poster for the "day of talks":-
'Mapping the past : an exhibition of Surrey's mapmakers, historians and
artists, 1620 [sic] - 1830' from Tuesday 6 June to Saturday 2 September 2000
at Surrey History Centre, 130 Goldsworth Road, Woking, Surrey GU21 1ND.
"The exhibition will feature estate and town maps of seventeenth-century
Surrey, ranging from Losely near Guildford to the Thames at Bankside. Many
are on parchment and are richly detailed and highly coloured." Admission
(from 09.30 hours) free. Closed on Sundays, Mondays, and on Bank Holiday
Saturday 26 August. It may be helpful (and encouraging) to know that Woking
is on a fast train service from a main London terminus (Waterloo).
