Description |
English: .Records from the Ordnance Survey Letter Book suggest that Edmund Crocker surveyed the turnpike road from Hungerford to Marlborough and William Stanley, draughtsman, made the drawing.

The close attention given to communication routes highlights the military emphasis of these studies..
