We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a large group in County Durham, where we are based. 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.
This very detailed map is double-sided to provide maximum coverage. The main map covers the hamlet of Holmside, including Warland Green, with coverage stretching eastward to cover Edmondsley Colliery (Wellington Pit). On the reverse a section of adjacent sheet 19.04 takes coverage further east and includes the village of Edmondsley; coverage here includes Daisy Hill, Sacriston Wagonway, Sacriston Engine, the site of the disused Nettlesworth Colliery, Tinkler Row.
The map links up with Sheets 12.15 Cragheadto the north, 19.02 Burnhope to the west, and 19.08 Sacriston to the south.
