‘Town Vs Gown’ is mentioned in our text, but it’s not the only faultline in the city; there’s the classic Rich Vs Poor, & the scholastic Oxbridge rivalry of course, but also the collegiate competition played out in sports & courts across the city & country.

#MatchMap - Boscombe & Pokesdown 1908.
You may wonder why our sample is a gravel pit & some football pitches! The ‘gravel pit’ became home, soon after 1908, to AFC Bournemouth, and still is!

Our three Wembley maps span 40 yrs, & the changes to the area in such a short time is seismic.
From gentle pleasure gardens to a centrepiece of empiric entertainment surrounded by housing of varying grades, the transformation we'll see is breath-taking!

We’re reposting our Central Cardiff 1916 map today as a #MatchMap, and to kick off Roald Dahl’s birthday weekend!
These streets would have been familiar to the young boy who would grow up to become a world-renowned author and WW2 flying ace!

Once the proud home of Crystal Palace before they moved on to the cosy and storied Selhurst Park (being 6ft tall, Andrew found the seats a little too cosy when he visited!).
Oliver Harris’ introduction is a vibrant history, and well worth a read.

This map hints at what might have been; a #London Eiffel Tower!
We include, alongside our reproduced map and specially written essay by Wembley Historical Society’s Geoffrey Hewlett, designs of several proposed towers, a street directory and contemporary adverts related to the park.
It's the start of the ICC Women’s T20 Cricket World Cup, and we celebrate with a beautiful #London map; a mesmerising pattern of straight streets & graceful rounded parks, gasometers & sporting institutions- once again the OS created art from accuracy!

Our sample today shows the very earliest years of the storied Coventry City FC ground - Highfield Road - used 1899-2005! It had one of the biggest playing surfaces in England, and was the English league’s first all-seater stadium.

Incredibly, the football club that the term ‘storied’ might've been invented for had been playing here for over 50 years by the time this map came out.
Here spectators cheered the first ever league and cup double & more besides!

Our small scale inch-to-the-mile maps are particularly beautiful, both aesthetically and intellectually. Here we raise ourselves up beyond the clouds, part them, and look down on Britain laid out below like a... well like a really big map!

Change marches across our map on iron rails; a powerful second railway line has appeared, the ‘Wembley Park’ of 1896 is now a golf course with no half-built tower, & more homes are appearing at the edges.

#England V Croatia in the World Cup today; here’s our last Wembley map to celebrate!
This is the one we’ve been waiting for – the glorious stadium is here! Looking back at our previous maps, you can really see the titanic changes since the turn of the 20thC.
As noted in Alan Godfrey's introduction, this series was produced by the British War Office in #WWII to aid Allied occupation planning. These maps are an incredible moment in time; a mix of what remained and what was lost, & a focus on possible futures.
