The Historic Atlas of York, now nearing completion, will trace the urban development of York from Roman times to the present, identifying every street and named structure accompanied by a sheaf of illustrations and reproductions of early maps.

In this talk Dr Peter Addyman will bring to life a redrawn version of the 1850’s Ordnance Survey map of York which forms the base map for the historic atlas to present an overview of the urban development of the city of York.
