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. Almost 200 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 113:

  • One Inch Sheet 113 The Dukeries & Sherwood Forest (N) 1906 - published 2000; introduction by John Gough

    This One Inch to the Mile map covers the area known as The Dukeries, and part of Sherwood Forest. Coverage stretches from Market Warsop eastward to the River Trent and North Collingham, and from Fast Markham southward to the northern outskirts of Newark (Newark station is at the foot of the map). The only towns on the map are Tuxford and Ollerton, though there are several great estates, such as Welbeck Park, Thoresby Park, Wellow Park. On the reverse is a more detailed map of Sutton upon Trent, complete with directory.


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