Sundials on OS maps

2016-11-21 Thread Ian Maddocks
hi again


And whilst i'm on

Does any know a way of searching OS maps for things other than places or street 
names, specifically the antiquities in Gothic font?   At the conference in 
Liverpool Mike Shaw talked about tracking down a dial from a "SD" on an old 
map.   Whilst checking out an Instagram dial sighting I ended up at the 
following map

http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=376965=671950=115

The Sundial here is BSS Register #1557

My question is does anyone know a method of searching for antiquities?

I doubt there will be any dials we dont' know about, but given the size of some 
of the dials I have found on Instagram i'm not 100%!


Thanks


regards

Dear John,

You reply...

I suggest you read my message a little
more carefully.

 a) I didn't mention God at all.

 b) I was exceptionally careful to
spell out that the 24-hour clock
was irrelevant.

I was SO careful about (b) that I said
it TWICE...

  "I don't care what time
   measurement system you use..."

  "Still without caring what time
   system you use..."

Now read my message again and take
issue with something that I DID say.

Very best wishes

Frank
