I want to get hold of a reproduction map of old sheffield. The older the better, anyone got any ideas on where I can find one?

Do you need a map for use or decoration

I have a Thomas Oughtibridge map 1730 if you know where I could get it copied 28"x17" a bit battered and dull, but very antique looking.

(Move your pointer off the map, then put it back on it

- you should then be able to click a symbol to enlarge it again)
