| Description | At the time of the deposit of the main collection in 1997 many maps had been stored and listed together regardless of their content or of the original purpose for which they were created. This section partly follows this chronological listing but has been subdivided so that estate, street and building plans are listed separately. Other changes made comprise correction of chronological sequence, relocation of maps not relevant to Edgbaston and removal some maps from this section so as to list them with the documents with which they were originally associated. See in particular MS 2126/3/5c for estate maps associated with surveys and valuations.
At least two previous reference code systems exist. Many of the maps have a number inked on the verso which may or may not match the number assigned in the "Index of Old Plans" written by Edgbaston Estate Office. See Finding Aids field or text below. |
