APPENDIX 2.8 - Suffolk

Title Page from UoL SC (source unknown, possibly UoL)

Only the map for the 1885 directory has been seen (three copies inspected). This still retains the engraver´s signature of J H Franks, hence the earlier maps are almost certainly earlier versions of the same map, but not showing current improvements.
