We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group in Sussex. 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 Haywards Heath:
This detailed map shows the village of Haywards Heath, which developed into a town following the arrival of the railway in 1841. Our map covers the area around and to the west of the station, with coverage stretching from Hazelgrove Road westward to Stafford House and Broad Street, and from Paige's Wood southward to Great Haywards Wood. This was a select area, as is shown by the many large houses in extensive gardens, with the Cattle Market by the station the only 'urban' feature. Other features include St Wilfrid's church, Paddockhall Road, Muster Green, Holy Cross Home orphanage, Bolnore, Butler's Green, Burnthouse Farm, Hatchgate Farm. A small portion of Cuckfield around the Wheat Sheaf Inn is in the top left corner. There are extracts from a contemporary directory on the reverse.
