DHMAP.ORG Tactile and large print maps by David Hawgood

England - tactile maps without braille

Introduction

This page explains maps of England intended for blind users who cannot read Braille. I am developing the maps, and seek comments. See home page of dhmap.org for maps for users who read Braille, and users who read large print.

This series of maps has two functions. The main purpose of the maps is to provide maps of the English counties showing the locations of main towns, in such a way that the maps can be used by blind and partially sighted people. They also provide a reference to parliamentary boroughs and polling places in 1835, soon after the Reform Act - because a convenient set of source maps was one showing these places.
