#PlanOnATuesday This week we’re carrying on with plans of Birmingham buildings. Here’s the 1935 – 36 key plan for the aerodrome at Elmdon which much later became Birmingham Airport. Ref - Birmingham Corporation Bill [177]. Finding Number - BCC 24 @LibraryofBham @bhx_community
An Ordnance Survey map of Birmingham and north Warwickshire. Conurbations such as Birmingham named on the left of the map. A circular grid shape superimposed over the top of the map with sections allocated a letter of the alphabet. In the centre is a smaller circle with the number 5 in it and identified as an aerodrome. Text in the top right of the plan indicating this is a key plan for the Birmingham Corporation aerodrome.

When I read history or mythology of the region I search for this map of the Mediterranean that’s tilted by 90 degrees. It somehow makes the Mediterranean Sea look even smaller and is confusing to look at buuuut it forces me to look at the region differently. Source: buff.ly/31JaIig

Not every map tells a pretty story… 🗺️ This 1869 plan by Bazalgette & Neville mapped out Dublin’s underground—literally. A sewer system designed to stop waste from flowing into the Liffey, it marked a major step in the city’s public health history.

Town plans are always popular with our visitors. We like to see how a known place looked a century or two ago, and a single record yields so much information! This plan shows Ramsey in 1848. #PopularItem #Archive30 #ExploreYourArchive #ManxArchives
