1976 OS map - Wye Valley and Forest of Dean

[Shewie]

Dug this out of a box at my folks house today, we were emptying the loft before they move and some of the stuff up there has been hidden for a long time.

I thought it might be interesting to the locals to see how things have changed in the thirty odd years since it was printed. At 1:25k it's still useful too.

Area covered, I think I sneezed when I took this sorry ..

Fascinating to see the different style compared to what they're like now ...
