We have published more than 1,800 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group in Kent. 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 Dover:
This detailed map is packed with information despite two drawbacks. The Castle and Western Heights are left blank for security reasons, both being in military use at the time. But the map covers the area from Biggin Street southward to the harbour and has much fascinating detail. Features include the Priory, Harbour and Town stations; The Harbour, Granville Basin, Wellington Basin, Pier (under construction), Promenade Pier, Waterloo Crescent, Marine Parade, East Cliff Terrace, Granville Gardens, Market Square, St James church, Clarendon Street, Christ Church, tramways. The map will be of especial interest to transport historians showing a dock area, with its two stations, that has changed so much.
