The Map
One example of a map for 1855 (at East Anglia University,
Norwich) and copies of the 1874 and 1885 directories with map have been reported.
The later map bears the engraver´s signature of J H Franks but is essentially an
adapted version of the 1855 map, hence the map was almost certainly used to
accompany all editions of the directory (1844, 1855, 1874 and 1885). No map
which can be dated to 1844 has been found.
