63. Ward
& Lock II 1898
Ward and Lock´s original plan of Exeter (see
55 above) was obviously inadequate and in 1898 a new plan, drawn and engraved
by George Philip and Son was included when Ward
and Lock published their first guide dedicated to Exeter. This plan first
appeared in A Pictorial and Descriptive
Guide To Exeter published in London, New York, and Melbourne by Ward, Lock
and Co., Ltd. There was a Second Edition in 1900.
Title: PLAN OF EXETER above map centrally.
Size: 140 x 190 mm with a Scale of 1/4 Mile (1/4 = 31 mm).

A simple map of the
city centre from St. David’s Station and St. Thomas to the workhouse in the
