We have published more than 2,000 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 very detailed map is our first title for Cardiff, but will eventually form part of a series. Coverage stretches from St Andrew's Crescent and the Cardiff Infirmary northward to Gelligaer Street and Pen-y-Wain Road, and from Nazareth House and North Road eastward to Waterloo Road. Good sections of Roath, Cathays and Tredegarville are shown. Features include University College, City Hall, Welsh National Museum, (shown under construction), Glamorganshire Canal, Cathays Loco Depot, stretches of the Taff Vale Railway and Rhymney Railway, tramways, Mackintosh Instutute, southern part of Roath Park, and many packed streets of terraced housing. On the reverse we include extracts from a 1906 street directory, including Albany Road, Cathays Terrace, Colum Road, Crwys Road, Diana Street, Donald Street, St Andrew's Crescent, Wyeverne Street.
