Redcliffe Imaging printed this historic map wall covering for me of the area where I was brought up. It turned out to be cheaper than I first thought. An error on my part in the initial ordering was quickly and easily rectified. Communication throughout was professional, friendly and guided me what was happening with my order. Absolutely delighted with the finished article, which we applied to the wall guided by the comprehensive instruction/advice provided with the order. Thanks guys. - Robert Bruce

I have really enjoyed watching the children lingering in front of the map trying to find their houses on the modern one and then trying to find them on the old one - obviously (usually) without success - which leads to some amazing conversations about how Reading has changed. - Cathy Doberska, Headteacher New Christ Church Primary School, Reading
This is just to say thanks for your extreme patience with me over the mapping wallpaper!
The mistake you made was to go out of your way to find an old and unusual version of the Ordnance Survey – which of course I instantly liked, and so began the tortuous process of having to answer all my questions which then flowed over many months.
This continued right up to my eventual panic trying to work out how I was going to hang it correctly.
I am absolutely thrilled with it and am telling anyone that asks (and any who don’t too) where I got it from!

Thanks for all your help with ordering the wallpaper. We finally got around to putting it up over the weekend and it looks great. I've attached a picture so you can see the finished result!
Thanks again - David Staunton.
P.S. I also couldn’t resist looking at the online mapping for the area where I was brought up and became quite transfixed by how the area has changed over the years and picking out the landmarks that are still present!

History of Ordnance Survey Mapping
The Ordnance Survey’s mapping begins in 1790 when the government, fearful of the threat of a French invasion, instructed the then Board of Ordnance to begin a national military survey starting with the south coast of England.
From the 1840s surveys were carried out at increasingly detailed scales and were used for many purposes including railway construction, geological survey and sanitary reform.
In order to ensure complete and accurate coverage, the 1841 Survey Act had already given surveyors the right to ‘enter into and upon any land’ in the course of their duties.
The Ordnance Survey Historic Maps captures Britain at the height of its imperial prosperity. All but the very largest cities still had clearly defined boundaries, but with little of the urban sprawl that has since overtaken so much of the landscape. The construction of over 16,000 miles of railway track had made its mark on the physical landscape.
The maps still clearly show many of Britain’s more ancient features and settlements, but these are now dominated by the new Victorian urban society which in many ways forms the basis of our own.
