Hello again everyone, not been on for a while due to house refurb. Anyway, I have sold the maps but had them scanned onto cd first, plus loads of others from different years. If anybody wants a copy let me know, you will need a laptop with cd and a blank disc, I'll meet you or other arrangement. Thanks for all your advice, they were worth more than i thought, a lot more.

well I would love a copy of these.It strikes me that this might be a good excuse for another get together in Leeds.I know my laptop can burn discs so it would be possible to copy and then burn from your disc if you don't mind Billy?I would suggest an afternoon some weekend in Leeds?somewhere quiet as I don't like lugging laptops around much.

Hi Steve, thats a good idea, I am more than happy to meet, it would be good if several members wanted a copy, excuse to meet as you say.

Hi, I am free most weekends through day, but not mid to late April, any other time ok, my friend runs the Gardners Arms near the Middleton Railway, if that is convenient. Nice old pub.

No problem Steve, there are quite a lot of maps, 200 plus? and plans on the disc, most of leeds ranging from 1890 to 1950's i think but some others of selby area and a few oddballs. i also still have loads of maps as i only sold the Leeds 1890 on Linen set. I still have a lot of paper replicas so if theyre of any interest i could bring a handful.

I think this could be a very intersting meeting billy!I will try and find somewhere with a quiet room to meet as obviously we don't want damage to maps etc.

Looking forward to meeting, always nice to have something in common, theres too many people without interests in anything! Me? I love history, old buidings, castles, trams, old buses, trucks, cars, ukuleles, Gran tourismo V, YouTube, reading, Leeds United, and the list goes on and on, there int enough time !!!!

What about some sort of exhibitio evening? The old church on Cardigan Road seems to be up for this sort of thing or the new Heart building in Headingley?
