We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group in Sussex. 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.
This detailed map covers the seaside resort of Bexhill, which grew from a small village into a substantial town during the 19th century; the population rose from 2,452 in 1881 to 15,330 by 1911, by which time it was the 24th largest resort in England, and had achieved some fame for its pioneering motor races on the front. Our map covers an area from the Sackville Hotel westward to Collington Wood, and from the Old Town southward to the coast. Features include the main railway with Bexhill station, also the SE&CR line with its terminus and engine shed; Egerton Park, Metropole Hotel, Kursaal, Granville Hotel, Station Square, Town Hall, tramway, St Barnabas church, Bellehill Farm, Beaconsfield Terrace. In the Old Town are St Peter's church, Manor House and Convalescent Home. A list of private residents from a 1903 directory is also included. A splendid portrait of Bexhill when it was at its peak as a fashionable resort.
