moved from fieldwork to the Tower of London
in 1840, but the offices were burned down
the following year. Colby moved to the new
Headquarters in Southampton in 1842, retiring
there in 1846.
The First Edition (or Old Series) sheets
were not completed until the 1860's and none
was superseded by the first of the New Series
("Second Edition") until 1872.
Some time back I came across the 16
sheets of Essex of the New Series, as used
by Mr Chalkley Gould of Loughton, an original
member of the E.F.C. in the 1880's. Perhaps
a few senior members of today entered the
scene with the Edwardian Third Edition in
colour. More will recall the Fourth Edition
of the 1920's and the Fifth of the 1930's.
Only the very young will have missed the
quiet extinction of the Seventh Series in
1974, at the close of nearly 200 years of the
One Inch maps published by the Ordnance Survey.
