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 Minera:
This detailed map covers the industrial village of Minera, just NW of Wrexham. Author Derrick Pratt describes it as straggling "untidily over the south facing north bank of the River Clywedog" or 'babbling stream'. Features on the map include the Minera Lead Mines, Pentre, St Mary's church, part of the community known as New Brighton, Minera Hall, Pen-y-Bryn, Silica mine, Minera Lime Works, New Minera Lead Mine. A mineral railway is shown to the lead mines and an aerial ropeway to Silica mine. A stretch of the GWR Wrexham & Minera branch is also shown, including Berwig Halt, Vicarage Crossing Halt and Coedpath station. On the reverse we include a comprehensive history of the area, a directory for Minera in 1910, plus a railway timetable for the GWR branch from Wrexham to Berwig Halt in 1906.
