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 Dolgellau:
This map shows Dolgellau in 1900 with the town itself covering the top right of the map, most of the surrounding areas being covered heavily by dense forest areas. Areas of interest include the several Woollen Factories, Dolgelly Union Workhouse, Cambrian Brewery and Eldon Square in the centre of the town. Also featured is Upper Mill (corn) and a Congregational chapel to the very south of the map. On the reverse there is an area to the north which shows the Cambian Railway and County Hall. The map also includes an historical introduction by Derrick Pratt.
