Science in Radstock, the popular science talks organised by Radstock Museum volunteers, concludes its spring series with a talk by Tony Painter, a local history map publisher.

The ‘History and Mystery of Maps’ will explore the history and fascination of maps, covering the development of mapping from medieval times, the early years of the Ordnance Survey, military mapping, including wartime, Soviet mapping and aspects of detail, accuracy and falsification.

Tony Painter was an MoD Map Research Officer from 1968 to 2005, witnessing many changes in mapping and survey techniques.

The talk will be held at the Radstock Working Men’s Club on Tuesday, 18th April starting at 7.30 p.m.
