We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including good groups for Shropshire. 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 Coalbrookdale:
This detailed map covers that historic area of Telford that includes the old Coalbrookdale Iron Works. The map covers the area from the Iron Works eastward to Lightmoor and Roughpark, and northward to Dawley Parva and Stoneyhill. The map will be essential for all interested in industrial archaeology, and includes Cherrytree Hill Brick Works, Shutfield Brick Works and Lightmoor Brick Works, with the tramway between them. Also the GWR Wellington & Severn Jct railway, Lightmoor Junction, the disused Lightmoor and Dawley Parva collieries.
