Great Britain and Ireland: Godfrey Editions of Historical Ordnance Survey 25" Street Plans

From £2.95

Publisher: Alan Godfrey Maps
Scale: 15 inches to 1 mile (1:4,340)

Fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. Selected towns in Great Britain and Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th and early 20th century.

The plans, in black and white, have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping at 1:2,500 (25" to 1 mile) and reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4,340). They cover towns in great detail, showing individual houses and property boundaries, railway tracks, factories, churches, mills, canals, tramways and even minutiae such as dockside cranes, fountains, signal posts, pathways, sheds, wells, etc.

On the reverse most maps have historical notes on the area concerned. Many also include extracts from contemporary directories, listing local inhabitants or businesses house by house (“Brunswick Square, 5, Fisher The Misses Mary & Caroline”). The maps are ideal for local historians, transport historians, family historians, or simply those with an interest in the town they live in or have visited.

SHEET REFERENCE NUMBERS: Alan Godfrey’s reproductions use the sheet reference sequence of the original Ordnance Survey’s maps which were arranged by county. We recommend, therefore, viewing the series by a county or a city location rather than the whole list.

PLEASE NOTE:

The maps are highly detailed so they do not cover a large area. Most maps are for an area of about one and a half square miles: normally one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one and a half miles (2.4kms) across.

Many areas, such as London, Merseyside, Tyneside, etc. are covered by several adjacent maps which can be assembled together to provide wider coverage.
