A child’s resentment was carried through life but based on an act which had been kindly meant.

Sheila Leeds concluded the morning by explaining how the idea for the meeting had arisen. She had been lent a book, Dorothea’s War by Dorothy Crewdson, a girl who was brought up in Nottingham and enrolled in the British Red Cross as a VAD nurse. In 1915 she was sent to Le Treport in northern France and spent the rest of the war in various field hospitals. In 1918, she was became a surgeon. In 1817 the Fifty years later, Margaret’s mother awarded the Military Medal for her family tried to emigrate to South had also gone over to the USA. bravery.

After FONA’s AGM on 5 March, former County George Sanderson was a working surveyor in private Archivist Adrian Henstock told the meeting about practice in , explaining why he chose it as George Sanderson and his remarkable circular map the ‘centre of the universe’! The original map is at a of ‘the country 20 miles around Mansfield’. It was scale of 2¼” to-the-mile and occupies a 7ft circle. It published in 1835 and is remarkable because it is covers all of Nottinghamshire and ½ of Derbyshire and circular and has amazing detail. Adrian cannot work was surveyed over the years 1830–34. Astonishingly, out how he managed to survey a 40-mile wide stretch he excelled the Ordnance Survey by showing every of countryside at the same time as his day job! field boundary.

Sanderson was born in Richmond in north Yorkshire in 1798, so was only 32 when he began the survey for the map. He took over the Mansfield firm when his partner died in 1828. In the 1841 census, he is reported as having a wife, six children, two servants and three living-in articled apprentices. In the 1851 census, he appeared to be at the height of his success, with a wife and nine children, a governess and three servants. Tragically, he died only a few months later, aged 54, probably from typhus.

Adrian Henstock and Sheila Leeds get a close-up view of the map.

Adrian showed earlier maps to the meeting and, although they were good for their time, they were no way as ground-breaking as Mr Sanderson’s map. Most basically copied Christopher Saxton’s pioneering map of 1576 but showed few roads. By the later 1700s, there was a desperate need for up-to-date maps showing the new turnpike roads, and most counties were re-surveyed between 1760 and 1790 in response to an initiative by the Royal Society. John Chapman’s map of Nottinghamshire in 1774 was reasonably accurate and depicts roads, tollbars, landscaped parks, windmills and coal pits, etc. The Ordnance Survey began to survey the whole country for military purposes at 1” to-the-mile but Nottinghamshire was not completed until 1840. Sanderson helped to fill this void. Remarkable not only for being circular, the map reveals a wealth of detail. Sanderson would have literally used a chain – 22 yards of it – to take his measurements. It is also worth Nottingham’s remembering that the map had to be engraved on copper plates (in reverse!) before printing. It is thought that some young pupils could be responsible historic green for the final hand colouring. He marketed his map through local newspapers and several versions could spaces be purchased, eg loose sheets, folded, wall mounted, with or without colour, etc. The Archives holds a folded version in a library slip case which was on In an earlier issue of the FONA Newsletter, I reported view for members. There is a roller-mounted edition on the University of Nottingham’s research project at Bromley House Library no longer in use for safety about the ‘green spaces’ created by Nottingham’s reasons. 1845 Enclosure Act. They are The Arboretum, The Forest (which is now about two-thirds the size it was in the early 19th-century), Church (Rock) Cemetery, an extension to the General Cemetery specifically for dissenters, Queen’s Walk, Elm Avenue, Corporation Oaks and Robin Hood Chase. There were also two cricket grounds which have now become lovely parks. Bath Street cricket ground was redesigned and renamed as Victoria Park in 1894. Cricket continued on Queen’s Walk Recreation ground well into the 20th century (if anyone knows the exact date it finished, please let me know), and is now well used by Meadows residents.
