I am afraid that there is no compatibility whatever between the
National Grid references your enquirer has, and the County Series
numbering of the maps that you hold! Perhaps he or she should be asked
to name some places!
I seem to recall that Canterbury has a more-than-halfway-decent town
library with a helpful local studies section. I should be VERY
surprised if they didn't have an index to the County Series 1:2500
mapping of Kent!
