Some faces are highlighted with a pale pink tint. Across this Map it is possible to climb Old Man Coniston in the North, celebrate Elizabeth Gaskell and The Manchester Guardian in the South, fear Lady Sybil the witch of Cliviger Gorge in the East; and to the West learn that the natterjack toad is also known as the Southport Nightingale. The Map is dedicated to the Vicar of Tockholes who, in 1830, used to rouse sleepers during his sermons by bawling "Wakken up! Ye'll ha' plenty enuff time t'doaze off i' Hell"

Publication Essentials
Poster-sized and litho printed on quality card in numbered limited editions, this is one in a series of pre-1974 county area Maps. Designed for framing and to stimulate conversation, JL Carr created the Maps as a way to present an optimistic set of testimonials to our indigenous, daring and buoyant forbears and to hearten those Englishmen who hope for a rekindling of the spirit which has enlivened our nation through its chequered history. These architectural, historical, literary and pictorial curiosities are not to be used for navigation; except in the broadest of terms.Map Details
