We have published more than 2,200 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, and have now started work on a group for Glamorgan. 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 detailed map continues our coverage of the Rhondda Valley. It covers the northern part of Llwynypia, and coverage stretches from Llwynypia Colliery (at the foot of the map) northward to Tyntyla Isolation Hospital and north-east to St David's church, Tylorstown. Features include most of Llwynypia Colliery with railway lines, stretch of Taff Vale Rhondda-Fawr Branch, Llwynypia Homes, old levels and quarries, Ystrad Gas Works, western edge of Pont-y-gwaith (Deri Street), soap and candle works, tramways, Rhondda River etc. On the reverse we include directories of Llwynypia, Tylorstown and Pontygwaith in 1906.
The map links up with Glamorgan sheet 27.02 Gelli to the west and 27.07 Tonypandy to the south.
