@Admetus If anyone is a teacher out there, there is a good 5 minute lesson in Geography, History and Art here. Maybe, you could spin it to a whole lesson?

@Skua @map_enthusiasts Yes, and how much of the landscape of 1816 is still (hidden) in today's view. Notice 'Ham Street' has become 'Hamstreet' too!

Ordnance Survey is 235 years old today, 21 June.
These stamps were produced in 1991 and show snippets of a map of the village of Hamstreet in Kent from 1816, 1906, 1959 and 1991. Chosen because the very first map produced by Ordnance Survey was of the county of Kent. Text and image from https://postalmuseum.org/ @map_enthusiasts #maps #OrdnanceSurvey #Kent #England
