We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group 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.
Here are the details of maps for New Quay:
This detailed map covers the small Cardiganshire resort and harbour of New Quay. Features include the harbour, New Quay Head, the streets and houses of the town centre, St Llwchaiarn's church, Towyn Chapel, and many outlying houses. Coverage extends a mile west to the coast of Craig Grogal. New Quay is a small town and in 1901 its population was just 1,234. It had already begun to decline as a port and Alan Leather's introduction gives a good portrait of its history. We also include a 1906 directory of the town, making this an essential title for anyone interested in the history of New Quay.
