Historic Norwich mapping from Bartholomew's distinctive Half-Inch mapping, reproduced as a wooden coaster.

What this map covers

Norwich is shown here alongside The Prospect and Chapel Hill in the surrounding landscape.

About this map

This artwork is cropped from Sheet 15 · Norfolk, 1903, focusing the original cartography around Norwich rather than reproducing the complete historic sheet.

Complete coverage of Great Britain was achieved by 1903, and the series became closely associated with touring and cycling in the early twentieth century. Bartholomew developed the Half-Inch series for people who needed to understand a region at a glance, with transport routes and physical geography given particular emphasis.

The interest is often in the regional pattern: how a town relates to neighbouring places, transport routes, water, and higher ground. The series is especially recognisable for its layer colouring, with greens across lower ground and browns and paler tones used as elevation rises. This particular source was published in 1903.

A note on map detail

The original map was printed at approximately 1:127,000. This artwork is reproduced at approximately 1:100,000, around 1.3× larger, making the original cartography and place names easier to see.

Historic map detail varies with product size and material. Use the listing close-ups as your guide to the exact crop and level of detail.

  • Colours may print slightly warmer because of the base material.
