Maps

Using the power of the internet I can bring to you a fully functional map of the area. Provided by 'Multimap' the map allows you to zoom in or out, and enter a postcode to pinpoint an exact location.

If you prefer the paper variety, I would suggest the Ordnance Survey Explorer Series No 168, ISBN 0 - 319 - 21792 - 2
I have obtained a map of Nailsworth for the year 1884. Apparently, there are no copyright restrictions as it is over a hundred years old, so for your pleasure and enjoyment I have reproduced a section here. The section is the town centre, and the maps are 1024 x 768 pixels in size. I have set the jpg compression level such that detail is maintained, without losing quality.
Both images are of the same area, that of the town centre, the second image is zoomed in to show greater detail. Note that the large mill pond seems to be where the current bus station now stands! You may also note that the main road through the town is not shown.
