We have published more than 2,000 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.

The major feature on the map is the massive Partington Steel & Iron Works, with its many sidings, and the map also has a stretch of the Manchester Ship Canal, with sidings leading to wharves or bunkering facilities. Other features on the map include stretches of the Cheshire Lines Railway with Irlam and Cadishead stations, Glazebrook Exchange Sidings, Glazebrook Hall, St Mary's church, Wallpaper works, engineering works, Higher Stanley Bank Farm, other farms along Moss Road.
