The Roman numerals, as I understand it, relate to groupings of the old Ordnance survey maps - these groupings are of 16 maps for 25" and probably 4 for 6", group IX covers part of Chapel, Peak Forest, and Castleton. I'll have to have a proper look when  get chance, also do a screengrab of the index map.

There is a list of Derbyshire 6" sheets with the Roman numeral references at http://maps.nls.uk/os/6inch-england-and-wales/derbyshire.html They are hyperlinked to the online maps but it looks like the links are "down" (weekend maintenance?)

Within the 6" sheet the 25" sheets are numbered as:

Here is the index sheet for the 25" Derbyshire maps

We could do with more volunteers to create the indexes, I'm going to do some more when I get chance but work's a bit busy right now. The more people do one, the quicker it'll get done!

For some reason it's treating my link as an email address. Must have clicked the wrong button.

Here's the link again https://www.dropbox.com/s/knhtb1dlwa8xwkc/Box%209.pdf?dl=0

The cleaning up consists mainly of removing grey space. Should save a lot of ink.

I've made a start on indexing box 2, but given that one's over 500 pages it may take me a while!

there are some more plans mainly Ecton, if any one is interested

 

[AR]

Thanks Mark, could you re-post the box 29 link as the link given gives box 28? Speaking of Ecton, I must crack on with the box 2 index when I get chance...

Everyone will be pleased to hear that all Doug's collection of books, papers, etc., including Nellie Kirkham's collection, are now safe in a storage facility in Derbyshire, paid for by BCRA.  (All John Beck's caving records, surveys and books are there too.) 

The move was completed by 9 volunteers from BCRA, other friends and Doug's and John's friends on 16th. October.  We shall be liaising with PDMHS to ensure that an appropriate home is found for all this irreplaceable material.

Jenny Potts,
BCRA Library Co-ordinator
