	Map, uncoloured lithograph? Map of the Lake District and the West Cumberland and West Coast Railways, scale about 6 miles to 1 inch, engraved by W Banks and Son, Edinburgh, perhaps published by Alexander Ireland and Co, 22 Market Street, Manchester, 1860-61. Bound with two guide books, Over Sands to the Lakes, and The Seaside Lakes and Mountains, by Edwin Waugh. This map was used earlier, engraved by W H Lizars, Edinburgh, Scotland, 1852, in A Handbook of the Whitehaven and Furness Railway, by John Linton; perhaps this is a lithograph copy by Banks?
