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.
Here is information about Sheet 302:
This Inch to the Mile map covers part of north Sussex, with a small portion of Surrey at the top. Coverage stretches from Slinfold eastward to the outskirts of East Grinstead, and from Charlwood southward to Haywards Heath. The 'Bluebell Railway' runs down the eastern side. The area known as St Leonard's Forest is in the centre of the map. On the back we include a larger scale map of the village of Slinfold, complete with directory.
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.
