We have published more than 1,800 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group in Buckinghamshire. 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 Buckingham:
The sheetlines are a little awkward for Buckingham. This detailed Ordnance Survey map reprint is therefore double-sided to provide maximum coverage of the centre and north of the town. The principal sheet (13.10) covers the area from the town centre eastward to Radclive. Features in the town include St Peter & St Paul's church, old Manor House, Nelson Street, Castle Street, West Street. In Radclive coverage includes The Millhouse, St John's church. Also shown are a stretch of the LMS railway to Tingewick Road, but not the station. The backing map (part of sheet 13.11) continues coverage of the town eastward, including Market Hill, High Street, Poor Law Institution, London Bridge, Page Hill, Buckingham Branch Canal, Bourton Road, with coverage continuing north along Maids Moreton Avenue to The Manor.
