We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group in Somerset. 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 map covers the port of Avonmouth, opened in 1877, and is a valuable addition to our group of maps for the Bristol area. The map shows Avonmouth Dock in detail, including railway sidings, locks, even mooring posts. Other features include St Andrew's church, Dock station, Marine Hotel, Swash Channel, Dunball Island, isolation hospital, Pier station, lighthouse, cattle lairs, and the group of streets nearby. On the reverse we include a directory of Avonmouth in 1904, plus railway timetables for the Pilning-Avonmouth line in 1929 and Clifton-Avonmouth line 1906.
