Description
A full colour map of Canterbury in 1907 provides a unique insight into the city's rich history, from its Roman roots to its medieval past. The map shows the city as it appeared in the early 20th century, with its cathedral, walls, and castle, as well as its Roman theatre and forum. The map's cover features a short introduction to the city's history, while the reverse side offers a comprehensive gazetteer of Canterbury's main sites of interest. This includes information on medieval monasteries, the city's walls, and its castle, as well as its Roman theatre and forum. The map has been produced in collaboration with the Canterbury Archaeological Trust and Canterbury Christ Church University. This detailed historical map is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Canterbury and its development over the centuries.
