Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Lincolnshire


We have quite a good range of maps for Lincolnshire, both large scale maps of the major towns, and more general Inch to the Mile maps. Specially worthy of note is the group of 3 maps for Grimsby. Here are the details. All maps are available through our On-line Mapshop or from selected local outlets. Information pages are being added for individual maps; simply click on the links below.


The following are detailed maps, taken from the Ordnance Survey 25" or 1:2500 maps and here reduced in scale to approx 15" to the miles. They are very detailed, showing individual houses, railway tracks etc. Each map covers an area of a mile and a half by a mile.
