Map approximately 116 cm x 76 cm, divided into 30 sections, backed onto linen and folded into black cloth covers with gilt titles to spine and upper board, and border in blind to boards. Rail routes and major watercourses delineated in colour. The last map published by the Railway Clearing House, and the only map published after Nationalisation in 1948. The Railway Clearing House was originally set up to manage revenue from the various railway companies for journeys of goods and customers using lines belonging to multiple companies, and went on to recommend the use of GMT throughout the UK and set technical standards for wagons, cables and junctions. From 1859 the RCH issued what is widely regarded as the best series of railway maps ever produced in the United Kingdom. £100.00
