Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Sheringham
We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey
Map reprints, including a growing title range in East Anglia. 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 Sheringham & West Runton:
Norfolk Sheet 11.05 Sheringham (East) 1926 - published 2007; introduction by Alan Crosby
This detailed map covers the eastern half of Sheringham, and extends east to cover part of West Runton. Features include Promenade,
High Street, Wyndham Street, Back Common, Sheringham House, St Joseph's RC church, Beeston Regis Hills, Beeston Regis Hall, West Runton station (at eastern margin),
Runton Hill, Holy Trinity church.On the reverse we include a 1929 commercial directory for Sheringham. Alan Crosby describes the area as historically "a landscape of long sandy shorelines, lonely and
elemental; wave-battered crumbling cliffs, slipping and sliding every winter as the sea gnawed away the soft material at their base...." The real catalyst for
Sheringham's emergence as a resort was the arrival of the railway in the late 19th century, and his essay describes the town's growth.
The map links up with Sheringham West to the east.
