A SOVIET Cold War project to map the UK will be the focus of a talk in Lichfield.
Dr Alex Kent from Canterbury Christ Church University and John Davies from Sovietmaps.com will speak at the Lichfield Science and Engineering Society event at the Lichfield Garrick at 8pm on 8th January.
A spokesperson said:
“During the Cold War, the Soviet Union embarked on the most comprehensive mapping project of the 20th century.
“This talk will examine the fascinating origins of this project and showcase a range of examples, including detailed plans of towns and cities from around the UK.”
Admission is £8 or free for students and members of the society.
