Wincarnis Motor & Cyclist Map of England (Sheet 5)

Cyclists would find this a hard map to use - 10 miles to an inch, so only showing major roads and some others. Has got the Tollesbury Pier branch line (opened 1907), so up-to-date.

Displayed scale of 50 miles = 74mm, or 17.2 miles/inch; actual scale = 10.4 miles/inch, or 1:650,000.

Adverts for the eponymous drink in Pint (2/6) and quart (3/6) sizes - "delicious tonic & restorative recommended by over 8000 medical men".

Copyright John Bartholomew & Co. Fletcher & Son Ltd, Litho, Norwich. Has got latitude and longitude lines (unnumbered).
