Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Denbighshire

We now have a good range of maps for Denbighshire - both large and small scale - with good groups for Wrexham and Colwyn Bay. Other titles will be added in due course.

Firstly, here are the large scale maps for the county. These are highly detailed maps, at about 14 inches to the mile:

  • 03.03 Colwyn Bay (North) 1911 - published 2003; introduction by Derrick Pratt.
  • 03.07 Colwyn Bay (SW) 1911 - published 2003; intro by Derrick Pratt.
  • 03.08 Colwyn Bay (SE) & Colwyn 1911 - published 2003; intro by Derrick Pratt.
  • 13.04 Denbigh 1910 - published 2002; intro by Derrick Pratt.
  • 19.07 Ruthin 1910 - published 2002; intro by Derrick Pratt.
  • 34.15 Llangollen 1910 - published 2006; intro by Derrick Pratt

    The following is our group of maps for Wrexham, the largest town in north Wales, and surrounded by an industrial heritage. Nearby is the small town of Rhosllanerchrugog (normally simply called Rhos) with a population of about 10,500 at the time of this map, and the major ironworks town of Brymbo. Between and around is a fascinating cobweb of railways such as the Legacy Branch, tramways, collieries and industries, much of it long since gone. Each has an introduction by Derrick Pratt.
