An updated version of a 1938 Southern Railway map by Kerry Lee. This later printing features changes in text, characters, notations and place names. The text in the bottom margin reads: "This map is based on a pre-war issue and as far as is practicable the more important details have been brought up to date." Lee was an illustrator and artist but is best known for his pictorial maps, and thus founded a company called "Pictorial Maps" in the years following the Second World War.
