Hi
I've clearing my shelves and have some things which may be of interest to WAN: a collection of maps, guided walks, local histories, often quirky & published by individuals or small groups. In total it is a fat A4 envelope but willing to split.
Suffolk: 12 short walks by the Suffolk coast.
North Yorks: The rail trail (Goathland to Grosmont); walks around Robin Hood Bay; Walking to crosses on the North York moors.
Cornwall: Antiquities of West Cornwall (and how to get there without a car); The Lizard (National Trust leaflet).
Hampshire: a history of Nether Wallop.
London: Lea & Stort Navigations map for canal boats; Barbican Centre "big adventure" map for children; City of London visitor trail map 2013; Footnotes audio walks of Clerkenwell & Lower Islington (CD).
London Olympics: host boroughs Walk the Bid map (2004?); Walk the Olympic Park map; Newham host borough maps of the Olympic site; 2007 Time Out article about the Lea Valley.
Satellite map of the Docklands from 1992 before all the development.
Berlin: map of the route of the wall
Artists: Peter Ackroyd et al: Dark Waters Thames audio installation map (2008); Simon Pope: London Walking, a handbook for survival (2000); Erika Tan: Ideas for a Better Place (participatory project in Bow, east London 2004); Matei Bejenaru: Travel Guide (2007) about ways for 'illegal' migrants to get from Romania to Great Britain; French & Mottershead map created for the Natioanl Review of Live Art, Glasgow, 2006.
Not about walking but may appeal:
- British Library CD: Live in Steel (oral history of the steel industry)
- Sugar, Spice & Human Cargo, an early black history of Greenwich by Joan Anim-Addo (cocoa-damaged but very interesting)
And possibly more…
For ease I would love it if you were able to collect from me in Hackney, London but I will post out to you.
Please make sure you reply to me at [log in to unmask] and not to the whole list.
Thanks
Melissa
