Birmingham Council Boundary Changes 1838 to 1931

Sometimes you spot some things that are surprisingly mundane and interesting.  This map charting the growth of Birmingham’s local authority to 1938 fits into that category and comes from the website www.british-history.ac.uk and the 1964 book A History of the County of Warwick: Volume 7 edited by WB Stephens.

Perhaps it’s the simple fascination of tracing history through maps?
