An idea to celebrate the A7 Centenary - Tony Griffiths - 22-01-2022
Another brilliant Centenary idea found on that superb, no-cost-up-front Facebook - a custom-made OS map that can be ordered here https://shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/custom-made/#start

Very nice idea, however this has already been in the pipeline for a couple of years and one will be in every Goody Bag. Please could we consider a couple of your sample cover images for our maps?

If you centre the map on Snowshill you will also get Prescott Hill on the map!

David,
I tagged you in a similar post about this on Facebook this morning, are the ones your are producing OS maps too?

hi tony.
was you thinking personalised, as in it having an austin 7 on the front?
or individually personalised, by highlighting each drivers trip from there home to the 100 anniversary?
also please do the orange chummy type. apart from it being stunning 1920s styling. it tracy 1927 chummy.
thanks tony

Ruairidh,
The Goody Bag map will be an Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 Landranger map centred on the Fire Service College. Like the Landranger map it will be c.1¼" to 1 mile covering an area of 40x40km. The only difference from a standard Landranger map is that the cover will be printed integral with the map and not a separate cardboard one, e.g. like Michelin maps.

Very exciting.

Of course, David. I'll email you a set of links that you can download and choose from. As they need to a square, it will take me a little time to go through the full-sized images and cut them down.

David, I've sent you a PM - and also emailed the links to you at your business address.
For enthusiasts of the orange chummy, here are a few different "painted" skies:
