Warwickshire
In his History of the QTP (1987) Carr reported that he had published three editions of a map of Warwickshire. Three have been seen, including what is probably one of the earliest county maps, designed by Carr in 1967 with his son, Robert. In an article in The Birmingham Evening Mail on 15th March 1968 (p 18), Carr reported that this was his third published map, after Northamptonshire and Norfolk.
