A project to scan and make available old maps held by the Bristol and Glos Archives has been going on for some time.

Some of the Gloucestershire maps have now been uploaded on the following site.

http://maps.bristol.gov.uk/kyp/?edition=southglos

A dedicated Gloucestershire site will be available soon, the southglos site links in to the original Bristol map site at

http://maps.bristol.gov.uk/kyp/?edition=

Whilst on this site if you click on BASEMAPS on the right hand side you can see what maps are available, they include Tythe maps and others going back to the 1750's.

Over the coming months these type of maps will be added for the county of Gloucestershire.

This is interesting but it's not clear (to me anyway) what the dates of the maps are. Am I missing something?

Hoorah, my turn to help you I hope, altho' you may-well have sussed it by now.

I agree, it's all rather clever, but yet ...

Anyhow, early days for this site me and it looks very promising.
If you click on "Basemaps" at top of R/H key, it then displays a set of mini maps from different eras; the era of the one currently being shown on the "main" screen has a pink highlighting border around it. Clicking on of the other mini maps will make that era's map display on the main screen.
Hope this makes sense to you.

Hope this makes sense to you.

It does. Thanks Jeff.

Thanks for the link. It's an interesting site; the slide bar is a nice feature, but the map dates are a little vague (1844-1888). It would be good if the 'surveyed' date was shown.
