Newport 21

1 : 31680 This drawings depicts the winding course of the River Usk as it flows by the Roman town of Caerleon into the Severn Estuary and the Bristol Channel. Not far from the river mouth lies Newport. The Usk is not navigable except at this point, but the Monmouthshire and Brecon and Abergavenny canals, in part following the valley, carry a small trade up to Brecon. Cardiff, depicted at bottom left, was a town of only 6,000 inhabitants when this plan was produced. Budgen, Charles

Usk(002OSD000000003U00161000)

1 : 31680 .Farmland and rolling hills dominate this plan of the Usk Valley, forming a natural break in defences along the southern Welsh border., In the 11th century, the English Marcher Lords and the Welsh often clashed here over the control of land., The remains of the legionary fort at Usk, one of the main Roman sites in Wales, are depicted in the centre of the drawing.

Chepstow

1 : 31680 Thomas Budgen surveyed the majority of the Welsh plans, and is probably author of this drawing of the Severn Estuary. The plan is a good example of the use of black and red ink to distinguish between wooden and masonry structures. Chepstow Bridge, on the River Wye, is illustrated with red piers and a black roadway.

Bedminster

This drawing covers the coastal area of the Bristol Channel. Pencil lines extending from a point adjacent to Honey Comb indicate the angular measurements taken to plot the coastline. Haven Military Battery is clearly marked at the mouth of the River Avon. Detail such as this is testimony to the military impetus behind the survey. A dotted red line running along the river Avon represents the old boundary between the counties of Somerset and Avon.

Chipping Sodbury

1 : 31680 The Avon barracks and battery are documented at the mouth of the River Severn, at the top of the map, protecting the Bristol Channel. Gravemounds ('Tumuli'), hill forts, ancient camps and antiquities are distinguished by the use of gothic lettering. The recording of archaeological details became obligatory in 1816. Quarries, kilns, mills, brickyards and pits dominate this industrial region of the West Midlands. According to a note in the Ordnance Survey Day Books, held in the National Archives, a one inch-to-the-mile reduction of this plan was delivered to Captain Gossett for engraving in the Drawing Office at the Tower of London in March 1830.

Grave mounds ('Tumuli'), hillforts, ancient camps and antiquities are noted in gothic script at Bitton and to the right of Dundry Hill. Otherwise, quarries, mills and pits dominate this industrial region of the county of Avon. Corrections in red ink and other additions were made at a later date. Dawson, Robert
