'Map of North Wirral, Cheshire, Showing Public Footpaths and Public Open Spaces and Commons'
Large post-war map of North Wirral, published by the Wirral Footpaths and Open Spaces Preservation Society to record public footpaths, open spaces and commons. Based on Ordnance Survey mapping but overprinted with the Society’s own additions, the map gives a vivid picture of the rights-of-way network around Birkenhead, Wallasey, Hoylake, West Kirby, Heswall and the intervening countryside shortly after the Second World War. Public footpaths are marked in red and public open spaces and commons in green, making the map both practical and visually distinctive. It belongs to the important twentieth-century tradition of campaigning maps issued by access and preservation societies, documenting contested recreational landscapes before post-war suburban expansion transformed much of the Wirral peninsula.
