Here are the details of maps for Lyme Regis:
We have published more than 1,800 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group in Dorset. 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 Lyme Regis:
Within the OS County Series the sheetlines for the Devon series covered Lyme Regis more neatly than did those for Dorset, which explains why we have used a Devon Sheet and numbering. Fear not, we know that Lyme Regis is a Dorset town! This very detailed map covers this charming seaside town, and coverage extends west across the county boundary at Devonshire Head to Furze Close and Ware House. The map, so detailed that individual houses are shown in the cramped streets, includes the harbour and famous Cobb, scene of such famous episodes in Jane Austen's novel Persuasion and John Fowles's The French Lieutenant's Woman. Other features on the map include St Michael's church, Guildhall, Broad Street, Coombe Street, disused cloth and silk mills, Jericho, Hatchet, Sidmouth Road, Lucy's Ledge, Poulett House, Assembly Rooms, jetties, cement works, Chippel Bay, Cobb Gate Beach, Lower Ware. The railway station is at the top of the map. On the back we include a 1911 directory for Lyme Regis, listing tradesmen, councillors etc.
