We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including groups in Hampshire and Wiltshire. 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 Christchurch:
This detailed map covers the centre of Christchurch and the area to the south and east. Within the town the High Street, Castle Street, Bridge Street and the magnificent church are covered but please note the map does not extend north to the station. The map extends east to Purwell Cross, and across Stanpit Marsh to Stanpit and Blackberry Point. Although the sheetlines are not very kind, the many inlets, including Mother Siller's Channel, make this an attractive map and remind us that Christchurch first became important as a port. On the reverse we include a directory of the town in 1895.
