Here are the details of maps for Stamford:
We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including groups in Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire. 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 Stamford:
This map captures most of the historic town of Stamford, of which Hoskins wrote in 1951 "If there is a more beautiful town in the whole of England, I have yet to see it". Coverage stretches from Austin Street and St Peter's Street eastward to include all the town centre and about a mile beyond; and from Northfields southward to Burghley Lodges and part of Burghley Park. Features on the map include the railway with LMS and LNER stations; River Welland, St Mary's Street, Broad Street, High Street, St Paul's Street, Saint Martin's, cattle market, infirmary, St Leonard's Priory, Poor Law Institution, Rutland Engineering Works, Hudds Mill, Newstead Mill (near top right corner of map), numerous churches, Barnhill House, and individual houses etc. We include a directory of private inhabitants from a 1905 directory. Note that a good portion of the map is actually in Northamptonshire (Sheet 2.05) including the LNER terminus..
