Pattisons Cyclist road map



Something a little different today. We have been having a sort out in the office and we came across this old map. Unfortunately there is no date on it but as you can see it certainly has some history. Anyone any idea to the date of this map ?

Grant. your office must be like a tardis. You've been reporting little sort outs for years and every time you find something new and fascinating. Have you ever tried moving the filing cabinet? I'll bet there's a tunnel behind it that leads to the Mercian Crypt at Repton

Did aGoogle and it looks like Pattisons went bankrupt in 1898!!!

Well well as old as that. It might have to live in the safe.
Hmm tunnel to the crypt . The only tunnel we have is the workers trying to get out. hahaha
