Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Glamorgan

We have now started work on large scale maps for Glamorgan towns, beginning with Llantwit Major; other maps are in the pipeline and the series should develop quite rapidly over the next year or two. These maps, taken from the OS 25" maps and reduced to about 14 inches to the mile, are extremely detailed, showing individual house and such details as rail and tram tracks, footpaths, mills, even fountains and water troughs.

These are the titles published so far:
