On BHF we all know the quality of Mike Jee's research & many of us use Alan Godfrey maps to underpin our understanding of the places our family lived. Mike has now written texts for two of the Birmingham maps & one just outside Birmingham published by Alan Godfrey.
Birmingham East 1888 ref 14.06, in colour, is such a joy for those of us that knew or know the area. The map covers Kingston Hill, Coventry Rd, Cattell Rd & Bordesley with parts of Saltley. Mike's highly readable text provides real insights into this part of Birmingham & for me was very visual. I learnt a both from the text & the map. It gives real shape to the place as it stood in 1888, before so many of the later Victorian buildings covered the landscape. Postie you will love this map.
Alan Godfrey is one of my favourite suppliers. The maps are very well priced. Providing orders are placed before 4pm the maps are despatched same day in good quality recyclable packaging which fits through the letterbox.
