When living in Durham last year I would get the free local paper through the door and flick straight to the planning notices. If a footpath was closed I got it's reference number from the description, and sometimes 2-4 other references. Occasionally I got a road name that I had missed (broken sign etc.). I was also looking out for construction work that might add a road or something, although there is a long wait and then I need to go out an survey it, I kept them in mind.
I never made it to the library to look at old maps or descriptions. I thought about it, but I'm not sure what library branch I would have to go to or if it was a special one where you have to request the books. I think my small local library in London is good for stuff like that (but less footpaths). -- Gregory [email protected] http://www.livingwithdragons.com
