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 is double-sided for maximum coverage, and shows the area on the west of the town. The main map covers an area from Stanhope Green and Larchfield Street (near the centrre of town) westward to Mowden and Hillclose House, and from Bell Lane southward to Duke Street. This is a suburban area, with a few terrace streets at the east side of the map, then villas and larger houses along Woodlands Road, leading to open countryside at the west of the map. Features include St Clare's Abbey, Stanhope Green, Pierremont, Brinkburn, St Joseph's School, horse tramway along Woodlands Road, West Lodge, Carmel House Convent, Pierremont Park Nursery. Part of Cockerton is on the map, including The Green. On the reverse is half of adjacent sheet 55.09 extending coverage south and this includes Coniscliffe Road as far west as Carmel Road. Blackwell Hall is near the SW corner. Features include Blackwell Grange, Blackwell Mill, Harewood Hill, West Cemetery.
The map links up with Sheets 55.06 Darlington and 55.10 Darlington South to the east.
