Bartholomew Maps...

Just looking at them makes me want to spin the clock back to 1946 and go touring...

Imagine the empty roads; the local shops; the pubs selling nothing but ale and spirits - drawn from oak barrels with worn beer-engine pump handles like coppers' trungeons.

Like a time warp Humphrey Spender pedalling back in time to make it to the boozer before last orders...















And while we're at it - one of Spender's marvelous paintings...
