Description: | Lines in pencil and red ink radiate from trigonometrical stations within the drawing and from the margins. Chelmsford is the largest settlement in the area. A straight, unmarked Roman road leads out from the city. The fact that the road is coloured yellow suggests it was still considered a major communication route. Three mills are marked on the River Chelmer. Marshland along the riverbanks is indicated by rows of dashes, differentiating it from the surrounding cultivated land. A lake and individual trees in the grounds of Moulsham Hall are recorded, towards the bottom of the landmass, a reminder of the meticulous nature of the Survey. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Roman Roads Cartography And Topography Transport Infrastructure Science And Technology Landscapes Marshland Maps | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | unattributed | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
