DescriptionJohn Kempson, surveyor, Birmingham.
Scale: [3.3 inches to 0.5 mile or 1:9,600].
With manuscript note: "This is Kempson's map of 1808, with additions ...used in Wrightson's Directory, 1818. Additions include: Roman Catholic Chapel (Shadwell Street), Meeting (Newhall Street), St. Philip's Rectory and the Court of Requests.". However, this is not the map used in the 1818 Directory, as it does not have e.g. Tower Street, Frederick Street, Martin Street, and Regent's Place labelled, which the 1818 Directory map does have.
No additional streets are shown.
Includes list of hackney coach fares unchanged from the 1808 edition.
