The Historic Towns Trust’s ‘Historical Map of Cambridge’, published in December 2024, portrays the city’s history over nearly two millennia, from Roman times to the 20th century, giving equal prominence to Town and University and incorporating the latest findings by archaeologists to illuminate what lies under the present townscape. In this illustrated talk, Tony Kirby (one of its compilers) will explain how the map was produced, the research that underlay it, and how it fits into the long tradition of maps of Cambridge.
