Dawson of the Royal Engineers and published by the Boundaries Commission in 1832.The whole country was surveyed for the commission to support the 1832 reform bill - a major shake-up of the nation's parliamentary representation.The map is on a scale of 4 inches to the mile. There is much detail here including individual buildings and it's interesting to compare the 19th century map with the much expanded Clitheroe of the present day.Enhanced with original hand colouring and a colour key to the various boundaries.Fine condition other than a light horizontal crease.
