The Johnson map of Manchester would appear to be a reissue or later edition of his earlier map. Manchester Central Library would be a good place to start hunting. The two larger scale plans of Manchester were the subject of excellent reprints in 1982 by Neil Richardson who currently publishes from 88 Ringley Road, Stoneclough, Radcliffe, Manchester M26 1ET. I do not know if either is still in print. Richard Dean From: Cartographics, 49 Grange Road, Biddulph, Stoke on Trent ST8 7RY, UK. Out of print maps and plans, UK/worldwide.

I'd be grateful of any info. on copies (or variants) and their whereabouts. • Mapp of all / the Streets, Lanes & Alleys within / the town of LIVERPOOL... J. Chadwick, 1725. 17 x 21 3/4". Scale: [72 mm.] = 240 yds.. However the copy in Liverpool Record Office is a litho. and must be a 19th century reproduction - if an original in fact ever existed. James Chadwick is listed as surveyor in Tooley. • Plan of the Parish of Manchester in the County of Lancaster from a survey made in the years 1836 and 1837...William Johnson, Manchester, 1 July, 1838. 980 x 1200 mm • Plan of Manchester & Salford with their environs... Bancks & Co., 1831? 18 sheets? Reproduced 1982? • A Plan of Manchester and Salford drawn from actual survey... W. Green, 1794? 18 sheets? Scale 60 yards to one inch. Reproduced 1982. • Plan of the City of Boston. G.W. Boynton, 1844. I'd be grateful of any info. on copies (or variants) and their whereabouts. Thanks. Dr Iain C.
