We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a large group in County Durham, where we are based. 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 village of Norton, immediately north of Stockton on Tees. Coverage stretches from Junction Road and The Green southward to Hallifield Street. North Road and High Street runs north-south up the centre of the map, culminating at The Green with its Hamnbletonian Inn and St Mary's church. The tramway is shown. Other features include brewery, Summnerhouse Square, White Swan Inn, Fox Almshouses, and a stretch of the NER Stockton Branch as far as Norton South Junction. On the reverse we include extensive extracts from Whelan's Directory of 1894, which includes further information on the history of Norton, and a list of inhabitants.
The map links up with Sheets 50.12 Stockton North to the south and 51.05 Billingham (South) to the east.
