Ordnance Survey, One-inch to the mile maps of England and Wales, New Popular Edition, 1945-1947

Ordnance Survey, One-inch to the mile, New Popular graphic

The New Popular was published rapidly at the end of the Second World War, covering the whole of England and Wales by December 1947. There was no comprehensive revision, and the maps do not reflect the landscape of the 1940s. Source information included the Popular edition and 5th edition series, supplemented by Air Raid Precaution updates and some road revisions. The maps included new National Grid kilometre squares, Ministry of Transport road numbers, as well as parish boundaries (which had been excluded from Popular edition maps). An Outline edition was also published.
