Liskeard, Cornwall

This drawing is mentioned in the Ordnance Survey Letter Book. Folio 91 records that the drawing was returned to the Tower from the Quartermaster General's Office. The circular hole in the top right-hand corner indicates that an 'Ordnance Office Copy' blind stamp has been removed. Relief is a dominant feature of this drawing, recorded by shading and interlining ('hachuring'). Trigonometrical altitudes are also recorded. Coniferous and deciduous trees are distinguished pictorially. Although recording archaeological sites was not obligatory until 1816, many draughtsmen noted these prior to this. Here an 'Ancient Fort' is shown in Trelawn, while an ancient earth bank called Giant's Hedge, possibly the boundary of a petty kingdom, is marked by a yellow line. Dawson, Robert

Plan of Plymouth harbour

Located in the south western peninsula of England, Plymouth Harbour commands the western approaches to the island and by the 16th century had become the country’s most important naval seaport. This plan depicts the harbour of Plymouth, as it was in the late 17th century, from St. Germains on the west to Saltram on the east.

General Plan of the Ports of Homouse and Plymouth

Plan of the Ports of Hamoaze and Plymouth in Devon. This is the point where the rivers Tamar, Tavy and Lynher enter Plymouth Sound. Proposals for a dockyard at Hamoaze were first proposed by Sir Francis Drake in the late 16th century. It was felt that the broad estuary here afforded excellent natural protection however it was not until 1690 that work began here. William III appointed Edmund Dummer, surveyor to the Royal Navy, to build the dock and it became known as Plymouth Dock. By the 19th century Plymouth Dock was actually bigger than Plymouth itself and in 1824 it became independent, the town and the dockyard becoming known as Davenport. This is now the largest naval base in Western Europe.
