Old Ordnance Survey One-Inch Maps

These maps are taken from the famous OS "Inch to the Mile" Maps. Though obviously far less detailed than the large scale maps for which we are perhaps better known, they provide an invaluable overview of a wider area, typically 18 miles across by 12 miles down. For transport historians they are invaluable for showing old railways, while all historians need them for their close depiction of topography, including parish boundaries. These maps also mean that we can offer historical coverage for small villages where a large scale map would not be commercially viable. We intend to publish the whole of England and Wales in this series. Over200 titles are now available and we aim to publish three new titles each month. The maps include historical notes and all (except the double-sided Tyneside title) also include a large scale map of a small town or village in the area.

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. Visit the One Inch Page for a full list of Inch to the Mile Maps, or The Index Page for a full list to the series and details of Prices.

Here is information about Sheet 90:

  • One Inch Sheet 90 NE Lincolnshire 1906 - published 2001; introduction by Richard Oliver

    This Inch to the Mile map covers the area of Lincolnshire from Great Limber eastward to Conisholme, and from Grimsby southward to Binbrook. Grimsby is much the largest place on the map; the only other town is nearby Cleethorpes. A tiny portion of Yorkshire appears in the top right corner in the shape of Spurn Head. On the back we include a more detailed map of Brocklesby, including Brocklesby Hall, together with a directory for the village.

    It is not possible to list the many hamlets, farmsteads and other topographical features shown on these maps. However, you may find it useful if we list the towns and principal villages or church parishes that are included on this map. Links are given for those for which detailed large-scale maps are also available.
