Notes
These maps were produced from the Ordnance Survey maps, in this instance on a scale of 3 inches to one mile, to redefine the town boundaries, which now encompassed small fragments of the parishes of Newington and Saltwood. Five windmills are marked in Hythe, as are the three forts which were built to defend the town in the Napoleonic wars, Fort Twiss, Fort Sutherland, and Fort Moncrief.
