Until recently a small village on the Dorset coast called Langton Medravers [en Angleterre], can only boast a small amount of pride. In 1914, young Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond novels, attended classes at Durnford Preparatory School. An experience that would not have left him with happy memories. He may have preferred one of the two other private schools in town, particularly the Spivey School. [spy signifiant “espion”].
All three companies closed their doors today, but who cares. On November 2, 2022, Langton Medraverse once again entered a footnote in the ledger of history and became a city in England. “Triple Alignment”.
If this formula from Ian Fleming’s book directly invokes a sinister evil alliance, the phenomenon it refers to has nothing to worry the citizens of. And to the delight of all cartographers. In other words, the village entered map history. The three alignments mentioned here are true north, magnetic north and map north – a first in the history of maps and an event not repeated for centuries.
True North Of the three, it is the easiest to explain. It indicates the direction of the North Pole, where all the meridians converge. It is also known as “geographical north”.
