Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Gloucestershire


This is our range of maps for Gloucestershire, including an important group of 4 maps for Gloucester. Further information about individual titles is given in our On-line Mapshop. Please note that there is a separate page for Bristol.


The following maps are all taken from the OS 25" maps and reduced to a scale of approximately 15 inches to the mile. They are extremely detailed, showing individual houses, details such as railway tracks, pathways, pubs, factories and even minutiae such as fountains and signal posts. Obviously they cover quite a small area, normally a mile by a mile and a half each. Information pages are being added for individual maps.

Gloucester: A major group of four maps covering this cathedral city; each map includes an introduction to the history of the area by Alan Godfrey, with extracts from contemporary directories. By contrast with Cheltenham, Gloucester was a largely industrial city, despite its magnificent cathedral and its Roman past. Here are the docks (the NW map), the cathedral, city centre and railway stations (City map), the canal and the railway works (SW map) and the Barton area of town (SE map).
