Hi, Can anyone tell me the name of the map used in last nights episode. I was so busy cooing over it that I did'nt hear what was said with regards to it's name, Lol. It was the map of London, showing the dstricts with diffrent colours on, yellow for the more wealthy areas/houses/earning more - down to black for the poorest. Is it available to view online anywhere? Many thanks for any help given Pen x

They are publishing the Charles Booth note books (done at same time as the maps - I got the Bermondsey/Rotherhithe area for a christmas present. Thats the only one out at the mo, luckily covers all the streets of my ancestors! Lovely to see the descriptions of houses and people . You can buy the maps though, I saw some secondhand on abebooks recently. And I am pretty sure amazon had a book of them?
