New guide to enclosure maps and documents

When our members are researching, we often use the enclosure maps and associated documents, as  they are often the earliest maps of the town, and tell us about ownership. West Yorkshire Archives have just published a new downloadable guide to the records and maps that they hold, and give the references that are needed. This will be an invaluable aid.
