And just to prove my point on the blue style tourist information maps, here is the other side.
A west-up map
This is the reverse side of the information board on the last post. Presumably modern visitors cannot comprehend the north up concept, as the map is at a completely different orientation as the previous example. Perhaps car sat-navs have enabled this ability to read maps without a fixed link to north.
This map illustrates well the use of 3d depictions of buildings, a combination now found in many tourist information boards.

Across on my Navsbooks blog there is a growing wealth of maps related to this famous Cornish Copper mine. So if maps fascinate you, pop across for a wander.
