We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a large group in County Durham, where we are based. 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.
This very detailed map is one of a group of 4 published for Darlington. It covers the north of the town, from the locomotive works and engine sheds northward to Harrowgate Hill. The map is double-sided for maximum coverage. Part of the map is open countryside, for we are at the edge of town, but it is important for completing coverage of the railways of Darlington. Other features include Rise Carr Rolling Mill, St Paul's church, Rise Carr, North Road Recreation Ground, North Cemetery. On the reverse is part of adjacent sheet 55.01 including Drinkfield, a stretch of the Darlington & Consett line and Darlington & Barnard Castle branch, with Stooperdale Junction and Charity Junction.
The map links up with Sheet 55.05 Darlington West and 55.06 Darlington to the south.
