Hi Nick and all

Simply gardens perhaps? – in other directions further to the north at New Coundon, but still ‘half-hatching’ (see http://maps.nls.uk/view/128076786).

There is this - http://maps.nls.uk/os/characteristic-sheets/index.html - which is a rather useful page which has the many and diverse symbols and conventions used by the OS in its various editions and locations,

Thanks for replies so far – cross hatched was probably a misleading tem as its only one set of lines in one direction, rather than actually crossing – apologies for wooliness but it is (effectively) a Friday

Not seen that before – and it’s only on the 1:10,560 maps. I would guess from the context that it indicates areas where earthmoving will mean that anything planned might not be there next week. The 1:2500 shows clay pits and colliery waste in the same areas.

Glass houses are cross-hatched.

Hi folks

Can anyone give a clue as to what a cross hatched area on a first Edition OS might represent? It has 45 degree (ish) diagonals going NE – SW.

I have tried looking at the information available here https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Pages/Faq but it isn’t shown, nor is it shown on anything I can find on the National Library of Scotland.

Second Edition doesn’t show the same thing, so trying to work out if I can infer anything from it.

If you have access to historic mapping its at NZ 22708 29640 in particular, but you can see other examples around it.

Can provide images to people individually if they want a picture rather than my (somewhat less than) 1000 words

thanks

Best wishes
