Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Bristol


Our series of maps for Bristol has been amongst our most popular over the last 4 or 5 years and we are now extending it with further titles. Here are the details. Click on the thumbnail right for an index map.


Each map includes an introduction to the history of the area, and most also include extracts from a contemporary directory. Further details of individual maps are given on our On-line Mapshop. All are Gloucestershire sheets, enabling the maps to link up well with each other; we do appreciate that historically parts of south Bristol, and Keynsham, are in Somerset. Of Bristol's most celebrated features, the Clifton Suspension Bridge is on the Clifton Downs map; the cathedral is on the SW map; Temple Meads station is on the SE map; and much of the actual centre is on the NW map.
