We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group in Denbighshire / Clwyd. 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 Denbigh:
This detailed map covers the town of Denbigh, in the 16th century virtually the capital of NE Wales, and described by Leland as having a market "which is fayre, and large, and paved of late yeares, the confluence to the market on Tewesday is exceding great". However, the town declined in importance in the 19th century with the rise of Wrexham. Our map covers most of the town, and features include the town centre, Castle, Howells School, St David's church, Copenhagen, Lenten Pool, Graig Quarry and siding, Fron, infirmary, Alafowlia, railway and station, High Street, St Hilary's church, Borough Market. On the reverse we include an "Alphabetical list of Private Residents, Traders and Others" from an 1890 directory.
