We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group in Gloucestershire. 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.
Here are the details of maps for Fairford:
This map features the beautiful small town of Fairford plus Fairford Park, interrupted by the River Coln, on its way to the Cotswolds. One can see from the map the market place which the town was built around, as well as other important features such as the mill, bridge, hospital, cricket ground and St Mary's Parish Church. In the bottom right hand corner of the map is Fairford Station, terminus of the East Gloucestershire Branch. Fairford Park is shown in much detail including the well and boat house. On the reverse of the map is a directory of Fairford in 1894, and also a train timetable for the Oxford, Witney & Fairford line.
