Rutland & Stamford

One Inch Sheet 157 Rutland & Stamford 1906 - published 2002; intro by Barrie Trinder. ISBN.978-1-84151-455-0
This One Inch to the Mile map covers much of the tiny county of Rutland, but smaller areas of other counties also intrude: a fragment of Leicestershire in the SW corner; Lincolnshire, including the historic town of Stamford, in the NE; Northamptonshire to the south and east, and a small area of Huntingdonshire in the SE corner. In fact, a sixth county might be said to be here, for part of Northamptonshire is in the Soke of Peterborough, shown by the OS here as a county in its own right. Features include several great estates: Exton Park, Normanton Park, Burghley Park, as well as some long lost railways: the Stamford & Essendine Branch; Rugby & Stamford Branch; and the LNWR Rugby-Peterborough line. On the back we include an extract from Rutland Sheet 10.15, showing the village of Ketton in detail, complete with directory.
