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 covers the historic village of Llantwit Major, described in the early 19th century as having "obvious indications of its original extent and importance [with] the appearance of a large dilapidated town". The map covers the village centre and coverage extends south to Ham House and Mill-Lay Common. Features include the station and railway, St Illtyd's church, Square, Church Street, castle ruins, Hillhead, and the ruins of Bishop's Palace and other buildings. The map is very detailed, showing individual buildings. On the reverse we include a 1906 directory of Llantwit Major, plus a GWR railway timetable for 1929.
