We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a large group in County Durham, where we are based. 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.
This very detailed map covers the village of Shincliffe, to the SE of Durham itself. The map is double-sided to provide maximum coverage. The main map covers the area from the River Wear eastward to Whitwell Grange and Sherburn Hospital (top right corner), and includes the village itself, Shincliffe Mill, Sherburnhouse Brick Works, the disused Old Durham and Shincliffe collieries, a small stretch of the Durham Elvet & Murton Branch railway, old coke ovens, the routes of old wagonways. On the reverse we extend coverage southward with part of adjacent sheet 26.10 and this includes Shincliffe Racecourse, Shincliffe Colliery village, Shincliffe station.
The map links up with Sheet 27.05 Durham City (South) to the west and 27.02 Durham City (East) to the north.
