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 180:
This Inch to the Mile map covers much of east Radnorshire, with fragments of Shropshire and Herefordshire to the east. Coverage stretches from Llanddewi-Ystradenni eastward to Bucknell and Kinsham, and from Hopton Castle southward to New Radnor. Radnorshire's little capital, Presteigne is on the map, complete with its branch railway, and the lovely Central Wales line winds through the map. Radnor Forest is near the foot of the map. On the back we include a detailed map of New Radnor, a former capital of the county, together with a directory; this still describes it as a "market town and ancient borough", despite a population of just 405.
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.
