OS 1940s New Popular Edition

Map series, One Inch 6th edn maps of Great Britain, scale 1 inch to 1 mile, published by the Ordnance Survey, Southampton, Hampshire, from about 1947.
A hurried postwar edition of the one inch maps, based on revisions made about 1920, with some corrections. The sheets do not make a reliable snapshot of the area after World War II.
The sheets that concern Westmorland, Cumberland, and the parts of Lancashire north of the sands, and of Yorkshire, that became Cumbria are:-
sheet 75 - Dumfries and Gretna
sheet 76 - Carlisle
sheet 77 - Hexham (just a tiny of Cumberland)
sheet 82 - Keswick
sheet 83 - Penrith
sheet 84 - Teesdale
sheet 88 - Barrow in Furness
sheet 89 - Lancaster and Kendal
sheet 90 - Wensleydale
