Heritage Talk: The Jacobite Rebellions of The 18th Century & The Development of Ordnance Survey Maps - The Whitaker Museum & Art Gallery

Join local historian and map enthusiast Nigel Jepson for a fascinating journey through the rich history of Bury and Rossendale, revealed through the remarkable detail of historic Ordnance Survey maps. These maps are far more than simple records of roads and buildings, they are windows into the lives, industries and communities that shaped our local landscape.

Please note that special reference will also be made in the illustrated talk to local historical OS maps highlighting the development of Bury and specific areas of Rossendale from the 19th century onwards.
