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 Worsley (W):
This detailed map is double-sided for maximum coverage. The main map covers the area around Worsley Hall, with coverage stretching from Worsley Bridge and Court House westward to Booth's Hall. Ellenbrook with Mosley Common Collieries and St Mary's church is in the top left corner. Other features include Booth's Hall Farm, Bridgewater Collieries Railway to the canal basin, a stretch of the Bridgewater Canal, Booth's Bank, Middle Wood, Worsley Hall, Worsley Old Hall, St Mark's church, Kempnough Hall, Worsley Hall Farm etc. On the reverse we include a good section of adjacent sheet 103.06 extending coverage southward across the moss; there are few buildings but this map does show the Moss Canal with a horse tramway to transport spoil.
The map links up with sheets 95.14 Walkden South to the north, 103.01 Boothstown to the west, 103.03 Worsley to the east.
