I love maps, and find them fascinating, especially old ones.
I found this map in a charity shop some years ago in Richmond, North Yorkshire, and when I opened it.....WOW!!!.................
It was something written in pencil ( Weak Defenses ) around the Cayton Bay to North of Scarborough that really got my interest, but as I was on holiday, it was put in the car, and then a photo box and forgotten until I was looking through the box last night.
what does it mean, who did it belong to, why was it drawn upon and was it used........AND BY WHOM??!!!
Who would I go too,to see if this was an authentic piece of war time history, or just someone's figment of imagination or even a school boy prank...........now that I have unearthed the map again, I would like to know a little more about it all.
Sadly there is no date on the map anywhere, and I have gone over it with a magnifying glass, but it shows how old it is by the photos of the "hamlets" of York, Scarborough and Whitby.........lot of building of conurbation since that was drawn.
I am open to all suggestions.
