Scale 3 inches to 1 mile. Based on the 2nd edition 6 Ordnance Survey map, 1900.D/D Z 1099/1

Map composed of 2nd edition (1900) Ordnance Survey 6 sheets pasted to a linen backing covering the proposed extension to Swansea Borough, with the existing borough, proposed extension and affected civil parishes named, bordered and coloured in. Also includes an additional blue boundary, perhaps indicating an alternative extension.
