‘Walk-on Map’ shown to members
As part of the William Smith celebration lectures, YPS members and friends were able to view the final concept drawing of the William Smith walk-on map planned for Museum Gardens.
The occasion was the YPS lecture given by John Henry of the Geological Society, the first of a series of William Smith lectures celebrating the 200th anniversary of the publication of his first geological map in 1815. It was attended by some 240 members and friends.
