In 1921 J.W. Clark and A. Gray published Old Plans of Cambridge accompanied by a portfolio of maps from 1574 – 1798, but this has long been out of print. This portfolio, makes available new copies of most of the original plans and has updated the sequence to the twentieth century. They are intended to show how the city has grown since the first known map of 1574.
