We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group in Wales. 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 Lampeter:
This detailed map covers the small town of Lampeter, which in 1820 had been chosen as the site of St David's College, today part of the University of Wales. Lampeter was also a significant agricultural centre, and a collecting point for drovers. In 1901 it had a population of 1,722. Our map shows the town centre in some detail, and other features include the railway station, Workhouse, Glyn Saw Mill, Peterwell Schools, St David's College, St Peter's church, Peterwell, Cwm-Rhys Quarry; to the south the map has a fragment of Carmarthenshire with Tivy Side Tannery at the bottom margin. We include a directory of the town on the reverse.
