Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Devon

The main feature of our Devon series is a highly successful group of 4 maps for Plymouth and Devonport. Here is our complete range for the county; other titles will be added in due course. All maps include an introduction and most also have extracts from a contemporary directory. Further information about individual titles is in our On-line Mapshop.

The following maps are all taken from the OS 25" maps and reduced to a scale of approximately 15 inches to the mile. They are extremely detailed, showing individual houses, details such as railway tracks, pathways, pubs, factories and even minutiae such as fountains and signal posts. Obviously they cover quite a small area, normally a mile by a mile and a half each.
