|
scale line
scale
|
Printed upper left below the title is a:-
Scale of Statute Miles
chequered in miles up to 5 miles then at 5 mile intervals. The
length 10 miles = 24.2mm giving a scale 1 to 665018, ie the map
scale is about:-
1 to 670000
10 miles to 1 inch
|
sea area
sea plain
|
The sea area is plain; some sea areas are labelled:-
ENGLISH CHANNEL
Christchurch Bay
SPITHEAD
Southampton water
|
coast line
coast form lines
harbours
|
The coast is drawn with form lines which extend into harbours
and river mouths. One harbour is noticed:-
Por. Har.
|
coastal defence
castles
|
Drawn with a tower with a flag, which is hidden in the
engraving of coast line and shading, is:-
Hurst Cas
The only other castle noticed is:-
Calshot Cast
|
rivers
|
Rivers are shown by wiggly lines tapering upstream. Some
braiding is suggested in a limited way. Some rivers are labelled,
eg:-
Avon R.
Beauley R.
Itching R.
Test R.
The Itchen ends at Winchester; the Test doesn't reach
Whitchurch; the Enborne is missing; etc. It's not a well planned
selection even tho' it is for a small map.
|
relief
|
Relief is not shown.
|
woods
|
Woods are not shown.
|
parks
|
Parks are shown by a ring of fence palings, just little
upright lines, round a stippled area. The shape and size of these
areas vary, perhaps trying to be realistic. Some are
labelled:-
Husborn Park
Heckfield Pa.
Southwick P.
|
county
|
The county boundary is a dash dot line, which is used to
separate adjacent counties as well. The contiguous counties are
labelled, eg:-
WILTSHIRE
|
settlements
|
Settlements are marked by a circle, graded for size. In a
later edition of the map this is partly explained in a table of
symbols.
|
|
city
|
double circle, upright block caps, eg:-
WINCHESTER / 63
The symbol has a cross (+) above it. The 63 in a circle is the
distance from London.
|
|
|
|
town
|
circle, upright lowercase, eg:-
Andover
|
|
|
|
village
|
small circle, italic lowercase, eg:-
Botley
The allocation of text style and circle size is not too
careful. A couple of other towns a have double circles,
Kingsclere and Basingstoke; at least one village has upright
text, Hambledon.
|
|
|
roads
turnpike roads
post roads
distances from London
distances from start
|
Roads are drawn with a double line; grading is explained in a
table of symbols in a later edition. In this edition turnpike
roads have a double continuous line; mail coach routes have the
line on one side bolder; other roads are dotted - which does not
imply an unfenced road as in other maps. Roads out of the county
from the capital are labelled:-
to London
Some other roads out of county are extended to the next place,
marked and labelled. As a help, a section of the Great West Road,
Reading to Hungerford, is drawn in Berkshire to the north of
Hampshire.
At least on road junction is labelled:-
Lapcombe Corner
Distances from London are given along the direct roads; and
distances from start along principal cross roads. The distance
figure is emphasized by a circle around it at towns, sometimes,
but not always.
|
canals
|
Some canals are drawn by a curvy bold line, none
labelled:-
|
|
Basingstoke Canal
|
from Basingstoke to the Surrey border; and showing the branch
to Turgis which was never cut.
|
|
|
|
Andover Canal
|
from Little Ann to Redbridge.
|
|
|
|
Salisbury and Southampton Canal
|
from the Wiltshire border to join the Andover Canal; and from
the end of that canal at redbridge to Southampton.
|
|
On the later edition of the map there are labels for the
Basingstoke Canal and Salisbury Canal. The Andover Canal is not
on the later edition.
|
miscellaneous
|
|
inns
|
The Leckford Hut appears, labelled:-
Ludford Hut
also, at Popham Lane:-
Wheatsheaf
etc?
|
|
Later Edition
|
|
A later edition of Pinnock's Hampshire has the map somewhat
improved:-
|
imprint
|
At the bottom is added:-
Published by G. & W. B. Whittaker,
Ave-Maria lane. 1821.
|
table of symbols
|
The map now has a table of symbols:-
EXPLANATION
Cities as ...
Market Towns ...
Villages ...
Mail Coach Roads ...
Turnpike Roads ...
Gentlemens Seats ...
Canals ...
|
relief
|
There is still no relief drawn but:-
Danebury Hill
is labelled as a hill.
|
woods
|
Woods are still not drawn but
Alice Holt
is labelled.
|
rivers
|
A river name is added:-
R. Bolder
|
roads
|
The bold light double line for post roads is replaced by
having feathered edges to the double line. Feathering on a dotted
line is difficult to see, but the mail coach route to Portsmouth
is drawn that way. New roads are drawn and there is possibly some
attempt to grade roads by size in the added narrow roads around
Steep by Petersfield.
|
inns
|
At least one more inn is drawn:-
The Hut
at Westmeon.
|
roman roads
|
A network of roman roads is drawn connecting Silchester,
Sarum, Portchester, Winchester and Southampton. These are drawn
with a single line, labelled:-
Roman Road
There, perhaps, rather more roman roads than justified by
evidence?
|
miscellaneous
|
A miscellany of other features are marked by name or
symbol.
|
antiquities
hillforts
|
circle, labelled:-
Danebury Hill / camp
for the hill and the hillfort.
|
abbeys
|
upright with three cross bars (a complicated cross?) for
religious houses, eg:-
Priory (by Christchurch)
Abbey (at Beaulieu)
|
castles
|
There is a new castle symbol, two towers, eg:-
Newnham Castle
