 The Ramsden Theodolite that started it all
The History of Ordnance Survey
Thursday 25 April 19:30 A Friends of Honeywood Museum Event Since the eighteenth century when English generals realised that available mapping wasn’t suitable for hunting rebellious Scotsmen across acres of wild Scottish Highlands the Ordnance Survey has been the country’s national mapping organisation, now responsible for keeping millions of pieces of data up to date for British business and citizens. John Dancy started work penning a black line on an enamel plate. He finished, 47 years later, in charge of the team that created Ordnance Survey’s classic paper maps from electronic data. His talk will be a very brief history of the development of this organisation, showing why it is still regarded as the world leader. Tickets are £5 (£4 Friends) - FREE tea and coffee from 19:00 Please phone 020 8642 4778 to book or simply print and return the booking form. |
