Displayed scale of 10 miles = 65mm, or 3.9 miles/inch, ie 1:250,000.

Legend has First class and Other roads, shown by thick and thin red lines; also shows gradients over 1 in 12 and "Dangerous Bends".

No print codes; no Tollesbury or Thaxted branches (opened 1904/07 & 1913 respectively), but from internet searches the road maps were published in 1910.
