I would start with my home town of Hexham and my husband was a cartographer - we are both now retired - so I thought it would be a useful thing to do with our ‘spare’ time. All help would be appreciated - he would understand mapping terms and i can root out the charity shops.

thanks

I was thinking of starting with the North east and it is because local charities are dependent on reaching customers that i was aiming to visit the towns and ask locals where the shops are located - also to invite information such as that you have provided - may have bitten off more than i can chew!
