"The OS are currently considering a proposal to remove parish and National
Park boundaries from this series [1:25000] as they are held to 'clutter the
map'"
Why not go back to the good old pre-OS days when the contents of maps were
determined by aesthetic considerations, and names and features were included
if they looked nice and there was a convenient space on the map? Seriously,
this proposal makes one despair at the apparent indifference of today's OS
to the needs of historical researchers.
