Burdett’s map of Derbyshire: Mapmaking 10

[@ianlayton6949]

As a college student back in the 80s - and a homesick Derbyshire lad, first of his family to leave home for education - i had a large Burnett's map covering my wall in my halls of residence room. It gave me a connection with home when i felt i needed it and has fond associations for me to this day. Thanks for the vid - it's brought back happy times 😊👍
