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 130:
This One Inch to the Mile map covers the northern coastal area of Norfolk around Burnham and Wells-next-the-Sea. Coverage stretches from Ringstead eastward to Stiffkey, and from the coast southward to Fring and Great Snoring. Features include an interesting coastal area, with Brancaster Bay, Holkham Bay, and the salt marshes near Wells and Stiffkey; the long closed railways to Wells, the West Norfolk Branch and the Wymondham & Wells Branch; and the large park of Holkham Hall, near the centre of the map. On the reverse we include a large extract from Norfolk Sheet 7.07 showing Burnham Market in detail, including station, Burnham Westgate Hall, North St, and the parish churches for Burnham Westgate and Burnham Sutton & Ulph; a commercial directory for the town is also included.
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.
