The 2,000th map in The Godfrey Edition
We have published more than 2,100 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a large group in Lancashire. 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 Rossall:
This detailed map is double-sided for maximum coverage. The main map covers the area east of Rossall, from Fleetwood Farm eastward to Fleetwood Salt Works and the Ammonia Soda Works, both owned by the United Alkali Co and later part of ICI. Though this is a largely empty landscape, features include Burn Hall, Burn Naze Halt - a platform-less station opened in about 1908, the Preston & Wyre line plus the old direct line to Fleetwood (by 1909 called Burn Naze Siding). On the reverse is adjacent sheet 42.08 which covers Rossall School and also the northern part of Cleveleys.
The map links up with Lancashire sheet 43.09 Thornton Cleveleys to the south.
