We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a growing range of titles in Wales. 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.
This very detailed map covers the northern part of Rhymney and is a welcome step towards better (and admittedly overdue) coverage of the Welsh Valleys. The map covers the area of Rhymney around High Street, from Tre-York Street and Manest Street northward to Twyn-carno and Ras Bryn-oer; features include the Brewery, Queens Crescent, Church Street, St David's church, Royal Arms Hotel, Carno House. Several old quarry and mine workings are shown, including the disused Waun-fawr and Twyn-carno pits. The eastern part of the map is moorland, helping put Rhymney into the context of its landscape. On the reverse we include a directory of Rhymney in 1906.
