Has anyone tried a private map collector or an NGO? If so, whom and
which?
For the latter I have specifically in mind the Centre for Kentish
Studies, based in Maidstone
[http://www.kentarchives.org.uk/records.htm]. For the former I'll
contact, off-list, a certain person first.

No, the enquiry I received was quite specific 50inch. The BL have other
sheets at this scale but the dockyard is blank. I agree the larger scale
would be more useful but that is not what the customer is looking for.

Surely you mean '1:500': '50-inch' is 1:1250!!
I'd also be interested in tracvking down a copy!

Subject: OS 50inch plan of royal dockyard Sheerness 1864
Does anyone know where a copy of the subject plan might be held please?
BL has OS 50inch mapping of Sheerness but the detail of the dockyard has
not been included. Greenwich Maritime Museum has been very helpful in
identifying other material but not the specific OS plan, and TNA does
not believe that it holds a copy.
Thank you.
