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 Bradshaw:
This detailed map covers the straggling village of Bradshaw, just north of Bolton. Coverage stretches from The Oaks eastward to Hardy Mill, and from Bradshaw Works southward to Harwood Vale Bleach Works. Other features include the Bolton-Bury railway with The Oaks station, Bradshaw Chapel, St Maxentius church, Scope Hole Lane, trams and depot, Ruins, Ashworth Terrace, Hardy Mill Quarries, Harwood Lee, Side of the Moor, and numerous farms across what was still a semi-rural landscape, with just ribbon development along Bradshaw Brow, Turton Road and Lee Gate Lane. On the reverse we include a transcription of a Bradshaw directory.
The map links up with Lancashire Sheets 87.10 Bolton NE to the south.
