We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including groups in Hampshire and Wiltshire. 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. Each covers an area of a mile and a half by a 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. Or visit The Index Page for a full list to the series and details of Prices.
Here are the details of maps for Ringwood:
This detailed map covers the small but important market town of Ringwood, whose population was 4,028 in 1891. Most of the town centre is included, and features here include Market Place, church, High Street, Manor House, Christchurch Street, Bickerley Common, Mansfield, Collar & Cuff Factory, station, cemetery. Coverage extends south to Westover Farm, north to Highfield, and west to Ashley and Watchmoor Wood; features to the west include the Workhouse. The map is notable for the many channels of the Avon, with substantial areas marked as 'liable to floods'. A good directory of Ringwood in 1899 is also included.
