We have published more than 1,800 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, some 30 of them in the Essex area. The maps are highly detailed. They are taken from the OS 1:2,500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. They show streets with individual houses, tram tracks, railway tracks and even signals, factories, wharves and such details as fountains and water troughs. They will provide hours of fascination for historians and genealogists. 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. For other information and Prices, see Index Page.
Here are the details of maps for Ongar:
This detailed map covers the town of Chipping Ongar. Coverage stretches from the station southward to Marden Ash (the suburb which is actually in High Ongar parish). Features include High Street, with its many fine buildings, Sammes Cottages, and the castle site. Coverage continues westward to Greensted, with Greensted Hall and St Andrew's church, sometimes claimed as the oldest wooden building in Europe. We also include directories for Chipping Ongar, High Ongar and Greensted in 1895.
