Towns are complex and sophisticated creations. Mapping towns stretched cartographers' ingenuity to new heights of both artistic beauty and scientific exactitude as they strove to represent and communicate the physical patterns of streets, buildings, and spaces; built structures and economic realities; the lives of those who live and work there; and the unseen realities of landownership, administration, religion, and politics. Illustrated with over 100 full-colour maps from the British Library's own collection, this history tells the story of the mapping of urban Britain from the Middle Ages until today.
