Early Days

yet ... and still very messy - but I think it might work :-)
(Transcribing - is that the right word?.. transmuting - hope it's not transgressing!) this 1774 map of the fields around Seaham onto the printers tray - plan to anyway...
This is Ralph Millbanke's time - father of Ann Isabella whom Byron came here to marry - then nick off again :-( but not before impregnating her and giving the world Ada... ( who was a brilliant mathematician - her mother having steered her well clear of any arty farty nonesense and loading her curriculum with numbers and science instead. And you thought pushy parenting was a 21st century phenomenon? :-)
Ada went on to invent the world's first calculating machine - an early sort of computer - hence the name Ada being used for a computing language.
And here I am stuggling over  the spaces and shapes on this map... that's where I went wrong - shoulda paid attention in maths :-)
