The text is accompanied by a comprehensive index of town maps which have been catalogued on an open-access electronic resource (http://townmaps.data.history.ac.uk/). Some of the maps in this book are well known, others have languished in obscurity, deep in archives, until revealed by the ten years' work of a British Academy research project on which this book is founded.
