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 189:
This One Inch to the Mile map covers a western area of Suffolk, with coverage stretching from Moulton eastward to Woolpit, and from Honington southward to Bradfield St Clare. Bury St Edmunds is near the centre of the map, with now closed railways running north and south. The only other town is Mildenhall, in the NW corner; as with other East Anglian maps, there are large numbers of small parishes. On the back we include a section of Suffolk Sheet 33.07 and this shows the villages of Ampton and Ingham in detail, complete with directories.
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.
