About this Item
HASTINGSby Robert Kearsley DawsonPublished 1832An original 19th century antique street plan of Hastings, East Sussex, England. Drawn up by Lieutenant R.K. 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 and extends to include St.Leonard's. There is much detail here including individual buildings and it's interesting to compare the 19th century map with the much expanded Hastings of the present day.Enhanced with original hand colouring and a colour key to the various boundaries.Fine, clean condition, free of repairs or restoration.
