Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Cheshire

Although the majority of our Cheshire maps are in the Metropolitan Boroughs of Merseyside and Greater Manchester, we do also have an expanding range of titles within the existing shire county.

One of our most popular maps has always been for Chester 1898. Recently we had the opportunity to reprint the 1908 edition; only ten years difference, but it is fascinating to see the changes that were taking place in that period. Another recent development is a group of 3 maps for Northwich, with its fascinating salt industry. Each map includes an introduction to the history of the area and most also have extracts from a contemporary directory. Further information about individual maps is given on ourOn-line Mapshop.
