William Morgan @mainholmpress.bsky.social · 18/03/2025For those interested, here is the 1773 map with this very odd shaped course, just as it was about to change with the advent of the Leger. The family name, incidentally, was pronounced Sallinger. This course was essentially by Rose Hill. There was a previous course near the present one before that. 020

William Morgan @mainholmpress.bsky.social · 18/03/2025Here is the map, which I dated 1895, but this edition was done over a number of years... it shows a home straight too, which the photo yesterday seems to negate.
