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 Tywyn:
The village of Tywyn - or Towyn - appears at the bottom of this map, with the area above being mainly fields, with a cemetary to the north east of the village. Points of interest include St Cadvans Church, Gas Works, two schools and the Baptist Chapel. Other features include Kings Station and just off College Green there is the Market Hall. On the reverse of the map there is a map to the north of Tywyn which shows the Promenade and Esguan Hall. A good stretch of the Tal-y-llyn Railway is shown, including Pen-dre station. The map also includes an historical introduction by Derrick Pratt
