We have published more than 1,800 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including groups in Berkshire & Oxfordshire. The maps are highly detailed. They are taken from the OS 1:2,500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. Each covers an area of a mile and a half by a mile. They show streets with individual houses, tram tracks, railway tracks and even signals, factories, wharves and such details as fountains and water troughs. They will provide hours of fascination for historians and genealogists. The maps are neatly folded and each includes a specially written introduction to the area. Maps can be purchased on our On-line Mapshop where further information about titles is given. Or visit The Index Page for a full list to the series and details of Prices.
Here are the details of maps for Ascot & Sunninghill:
This detailed map covers the area from Ascot station and racecourse eastward to Sunninghill and St Michael & All Angels church. The map is double-sided to provide maximum coverage. Much of the celebrated race course is included on the main map , including the Grand Stand, New Stand and New Mile Course. Other features include the station, High Street, St George's School, King's Wick, The Mount, Wells Hotel PH, Frognal, with numerous large houses, often in leafy grounds. Part of Sunninghill, including Lower Village Road and Upper Village Road, is to the SE, while South Ascot with All Souls church is shown below the railway; much of this development became possible by the draining of Sunningdale Bog. Our backing map, part of sheet 39.15, takes coverage further west to the Royal Ascot Hotel, the saddling paddock, All Saints church, Englemere, Ascot Heath House and Bowledge Hill. Tony Painter's introduction explains how Ascot developed into a top horse-racing venue.
