About the Book: Mapping Britain
Ordnance Survey has been the home of British mapmaking since 1745. Over nearly three centuries, its maps have borne witness to extraordinary transformations—from the Industrial Revolution and World War I to the digital era—creating a cartographic record trusted and treasured by millions.
In *Mapping Britain*, Will Millard explores the illustrious Ordnance Survey archive to tell the story of Britain’s land and people. From disappearing villages and secretive smuggling paths to top-secret military plans and the detailed maps of Buckingham Palace gifted to Queen Victoria for her Golden Jubilee, this illustrated masterpiece offers an unmissable look at where we’ve been and where we’re going.
