Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Monmouthshire (or Gwent)

We have published a small group of maps for Monmouthshire (or Gwent), and the highlight must be the pair of busy maps for the important city of Newport, which was, for a while, the largest town in Wales. We have also covered the whole county at the Inch to the Mile scale. All maps are available from our On-line Mapshop. Click on the links below for further information on individual maps.

Firstly, these are the large scale maps for the county; they are highly detailed, at about 14 inches to the mile. We aim to publish further titles in due course.
