Haven't these always been available or were they taken of? I know I searched them online ages ago.

The maps have previously been available, but not sure about the case studies.

Dear Magoo and All

Hello

I love maps. These sound very interesting and informative.

I have bought a couple of the Godfrey maps for local areas I have researched
but never knew about these.

Thank you, Mr Magoo.


Take gentle care
With best wishes
Elizabeth, EOS

I think they have been available for years though I think they have done some updating and maybe digitised a bit more. Thank you anyway Mr M. It's always useful to be reminded of these sites :-)
