@fleming77 Yes, I fear one needs deep pockets to collect such items! :-/
@caitlinrgreen I have a few from 15 year ago when Maxey's sold the contents of a print shop.
@fleming77 I'm jealous! :)
@caitlinrgreen I swear I thought that was a map of the Shire.
@CarlyASilver Haha! Well, Lincolnshire can appear a little Shire-y in the flesh, to be honest!
These are marvellous! Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure! :)

Yes, interesting isn't it!
Showed a work friend you Woldsea map and info today. Hope your ears were burning
