Below are all the Maps and Guides I have collected over the years either bought from Grizedale, given to me by other people passionate about Grizedale or bought secondhand. I am constantly on the lookout to complete the collection.
The maps here are thumbnails and can be clicked on to enlarge – wordpress seems to have removed enlarging to full size so if they are too hard to read email me I can send a larger version.
I have also included when sculptures appeared and disappeared from maps, this often does not correlate with when the sculpture was finally removed from the forest, with some sculptures being removed from maps and reappearing again later.
The maps during the 1980s don’t have a year printed on them, therefore I have dated them by the newest sculptures listed.
1977 – 1980
Missing from my collection, if they even existed. As stated in the Gallery Magazine Summer 1981 – “An exhibition centre is to be opened in the near future and postcards and map guides will soon be available”.
