Here are the details of maps for Blaenau Ffestiniog:
We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group for the Merionethshire area. 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 Blaenau Ffestiniog:
This map of Blaenau Ffestiniog, geographically shows two distinctive parts. To the west a desolate mountain mass, and to the right, the town itself. Festiniog Railway, which was built in 1836, runs vertically through the centre of the map swinging eastward to go through Blaenau. Close to the railway line through the town is St Davids Church and the Town Hall. Oakeley Square appears to the left of the town as does Moelwyn Mills (Woolen) which went under during the inter war depression. The map shows Rhywbryfdir which houses the local hospital and Trefeini which appears to the far right of the map. On the reverse of the map is an excerpt from sheet 04.13, directly south of 04.09 which indicates where the railway line started in Tan-Y-Grisiaw. The map also features a historical introduction by Derrick Pratt.
