Hi, i have been given some OS Map references and i cant seem to find anything on them... I have an idea where there are in Kent but the references mean nothing to me, can anyone help?
OS Explorer map 125
TQ858 347 to TQ873 350
and
TQ826 304 to TQ 822 310
Hi
TQ is the general area and guides you if you don't know where in the UK the references are.
The first set of 3 numbers are read across the bottom of the map (eastings - as they are read to the east): Grid line 85 and then 6/10 of the square to the right.
The second set of 3 are the northings - as they are read to the north - and read up the side of the map in the same way: Grid line 34 plus 7/10 of the square above.
Hope that makes sense.
I presume they are routes as you have 'to' in your references.
I don't have 125 to hand as mine are all Sussex.
