John Ogilby Replica Hand Coloured 17c. Road Map Window Mounted and FramedPost and Packing FREE within the UK MainlandA Brilliant Gift Idea! The Road from Ipswich to Norwich and continued to Cromer.....numbered 74 in Ogilby's Britannia of 1676.The red writing across the centre of this map is a 'watermark' and will not appear on your purchase.This chart depicts the journey from Ipswich to Norwich,then continued to the sea at Cromer. Each of the ribbons which make up the map include a compass indicating north. The landscape along the journey is described, and the distance travelled and directions to nearby settlements are given too. I have shown the place name as it appears on this map (c.1675) first, with the modern spelling in brackets. I have only listed the places I can readily find in a modern road atlas, but there are many more places of interest on these maps which I have not included in my summary. These may include rivers, ponds, churches, windmills, blacksmiths forges, gallows and bridges.
