For those of you who have purchased one of the 1885 Harringay maps you might be intersting in getting it framed, as opposed to let it gather dust rolled up in a corner some place. A couple of us have been doing some reasearch to find the best price (collectively) to get the maps framed.
If you are interested, see below and let me know if you are intersted.

I went to 2 framers. One on York Way, the other in Hackney. Karen visited 2 in Crouch End.

Fitting. The maps would be fitted to the wall using 2 straps (ie, a metal plate is fixed into the frame, and there are 2 hooks that hang off screws that would be left protruding from the wall when you put them in- no wire.
Conclusion- as things stand I think the best option is the York Way framers. I suspect we will all have to go for the same style, he was a bit funny when I suggested that some might want one style, and others a different style. So. As a starter for 10 please let me know what your initial reaction is and lets se if we can get a consensus. For me, I preferred the champhered slate grey frame, but would be equally happy with the black!
My proposal is to get agreement, have you bring your map to me by an agreed date (in the NY) and I will take them all down and then collect them when done, and have you come pick them up from me at that point. I would appreciate the cash for the framing before I take the maps to be framed, but that element I can deal with at the right moment.
