John Norden's map of London in 1593, engraved by Pieter van den Keere.

These include Norden's Map ... of Battles fought in England from ... William the Conqueror to Elizabeth, in 16 sheets, formerly in the Bodleian Gallery, Oxford, of which elements are probably preserved in the Invasions of England, an appendix to Speed's Prospect of the most Famous Parts of the World ( 1635 ); and his View of London, in 8 sheets, made c. 1604-6, and View of London Bridge, published in 1624.

John Norden's map of Westminster, 1593.

St Albans also had a legend, recorded in John Norden's Speculum Britanniae ( 1596 ) that a ruined marble tomb of Mandeville ( represented cross-legged and in armour, with sword and shield ) once stood in the abbey ; this may be true of " Mangevilayn " or it may be a mere myth.

The first instalment of Norden's chorographical project was published in 1593 as the Speculum Britanniae: the First Parte: an Historicall, & Chorographicall Discription of Middlesex.

The print versions of Norden's careful drawings for his Voyage d ' Egypte et de Nubie, 1755 are the first to clearly show that the nose was missing.

The character Piggy states that the new name consisted of three parts ; " Cam " taken from the original name of Cambridgetown, " ber " which means ' river ', because there are many rivers in the area, and " ley " because it is a common ending for English town names in the area ( as in neighbouring Frimley ); although the name was actually derived from the " Cam " stream which runs through the town ( mainly underground ), " Amber " Hill which was marked on John Norden's map of the area in 1607 and " ley " usually meaning a clearing in the woodland.

The success of both Clark's and Norden's efforts led to imitators on virtually all American and Australian TV networks, as well as scores of home video releases ; many American productions are aired to fill gaps in prime time schedules.

Also, a new building was constructed under Van Norden's tenure, Gillett Memorial Hall.

Norden's first partner was the journalist Nancy Spain ; after her death in 1964 she was succeeded by journalist Anne Scott-James, and then in 1979 by writer and historian Antonia Fraser.

In England Frisius's method was included in the growing number of books on surveying which appeared from the middle of the century onwards, including William Cunningham's Cosmographical Glasse ( 1559 ), Valentine Leigh's Treatise of Measuring All Kinds of Lands ( 1562 ), William Bourne's Rules of Navigation ( 1571 ), Thomas Digges's Geometrical Practise named Pantometria ( 1571 ), and John Norden's Surveyor's Dialogue ( 1607 ).

Examples included Norden's explanation of how he worked his exit from the army with pedantically exact interpretations of his superior officers ' orders (" Brief on ' shun ' is better than QR " ( that is, Queen's Regulations )-" prevention is better than cure "), and Muir's account of his desperately scouring the contents of his neighbour's greenhouse, having bet him £ 50 that he could work them into a My Word!

Muir and Norden's first joint venture was the radio show Take it from Here, which they scripted from 1948 to 1959.

In Norden's version of the system, the bombardier first looked up the expected time it would take for the bombs to fall from the current altitude.

A very often-used extract from this book is Norden's drawing of the Great Sphinx of Giza.

Mentioned on John Norden's 1594 map, is what is now the Eastern / Point mud flats of Canvey Island.

The Norden's reputation was further enhanced after the war, when it was repeatedly pressed into service over the following decades.

At the Navy, Norden worked on a catapult system for a proposed flying bomb that was never fully developed, but this work introduced various Navy personnel to Norden's expertise with gyro stabilization.

Norden's first attempt at an improved bombsight was actually an advance in PDI design.

Worse, Norden's factories were having serious problems keeping up with demand for the Navy alone, and in January 1936, the Navy suspended all shipments to the Army.

By 1937, Orland Esval had introduced a new AC-powered electrical gyroscope that spun at 30, 000 RPM, compared to the Norden's 7, 200, which dramatically improved the performance of the inertial platform.

When they heard of the new contract, Norden's Barth called a meeting with the Army and Navy at their factory in New York City.

Even then, it did not feature the autopilot linkage of the Norden, and would thus find it difficult to match the Norden's performance in anything but smooth air.

When a report stated that the Norden's results were three to four times as good as their own bombsights, the Air Ministry decided to sweeten the pot again, and suggested they offer information on radar in exchange.

Many factors have been put forth to explain the Norden's poor real-world performance.

The AFCE was another reason for the Norden's accuracy, as it ensured the aircraft quickly followed the correct course and kept it on that course much more accurately than the pilots could.

Paul Smith, who produced Norden's show It'll be Alright on the Night, later co-founded Celador Productions.

The unstable part of the wall was that around the site of the circular tower shown on Norden's plan of 1617.

Norden's map of 1607 shows a market house in the location of the present guildhall: the main part of it is raised on wooden pillars to allow the space beneath to be used as a covered corn market.

Voyage d ' Egypte et de Nubie ( 1755 ) records Frederic Louis Norden's extensive documentation and drawings of his voyage though Egypt in 1737-1738.

Some maps, for example the London Underground map, are topological maps.

Splash Damage, an independently owned game developer in London, created some of the maps for the Game of the Year edition.

The Island of South Georgia is said to have been first sighted in 1675 by Anthony de la Roché, a London merchant, and was named Roche Island on a number of early maps.

Early maps of London show numerous stockyards in the periphery of the city, where slaughter occurred in the open air.

:: An extension beyond West Ruislip to Harefield Road and Denham was planned ( and shown on tube maps of the period ) but was abandoned, along with the Northern Heights extensions of the Northern line, due to post-war establishment of the Metropolitan Green Belt around London, which restricted development of land in the area.

It was intended under the Northern Heights plan to integrate this into the London Underground Northern Line ; some contemporary tube maps ( e. g. the 1948 map ) showed the line as being under construction.

The longitude meridians of world maps based on the prime meridian, placing Greenwich, London in the centre, has been in use since 1851.

In the 1820s plans were drawn up to demolish Marlborough House and replace it with a terrace of similar dimensions to the two in neighbouring Carlton House Terrace, and this idea even featured on some contemporary maps, including Christopher and John Greenwood's large-scale London map of 1830, but the proposal was not implemented.

Unless looking at aerial views or maps, it is hard to visualise that this was once a significant airport for passenger and cargo charter flights for the London area.

The area maps roughly to the London postcode E1.

Since 2001, Transport for London has also started to credit Beck for the original idea on the modern Tube maps.

In 2011, she was commissioned to design the front cover of millions of pocket London Underground maps ; the result is entitled Polka Dots Festival in London ( 2011 ).

However, on London Underground maps and the London Overground-maintained station signage it appears as Kensington ( Olympia ).

Maps in London Overground trains, but not London Underground maps, show the station as 450 m from Upper Holloway station on the Gospel Oak to Barking Line.
