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 Sheets 132 & 148:
This One Inch to the Mile map covers the NE area of Norfolk around the Broads. For maximum coverage we include both maps, side by side. Coverage stretches from North Walsham and Belaugh eastward to the coast and out to the Cockle Lightship; and from Mundesley southward to Woodbastwick. Features include the River Thurne, Ranworth Broad, Wroxham Broad, Ormesby Broad, Hickling Broad, Heighton Sound, Burton Broad; also the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway. On the reverse we include an extract from Norfolk Sheet 54.02 covering the seaside village of Winterton in detail, including a 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.
