We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a small group in Cornwall. 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 Hayle & Lelant:
This detailed map is taken from the 1st Edition of the OS 25" map, and shows much of the small town of Hayle in 1876 (but apparently with railway information to 1877). Features include the harbour, railway and station, Steam Packet Hotel, Custom House, iron foundry. The map goes as far east as Mount Pleasant. The River Hayle runs north-south through the centre of the map and on the west back is the village of Uny Lelant, including railway, Griggs, St Unys church. A directory of Hayle in 1910 is included on the reverse.
