Title: OS and the mapping of tram routes Post by: CyclingSid on May 25, 2021, 08:21:23 A paper of interest in a recent edition of Sheetlines, the journal of the Charles Close Society. See page 32 on of https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/sheetlines-archive/Sh117.pdf (https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/sheetlines-archive/Sh117.pdf).
Covers Cornish mining tramways as well as The Wantage Tramway. There are various other railway related papers scattered through past editions of the journal.

Update: Found it! I know them all now. Not really intended as a quiz - many of the maps have place names on them (agreed some do not). They are: Westbury Melksham Trowbridge Warminster Ferry Bridge Inn (Wyke Regis) Holt Junction Title: Re: OS and the mapping of tram routes Post by: old original on May 31, 2021, 15:53:46 with regards to the Redruth Camborne Tramway, there's quite a lot of info and a few pics. here...
