Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Shropshire

  • We have a very good range of detailed maps for Shropshire, covering most towns. The county is also covered in our Inch to the Mile series. We divide the coverage into two parts: the main area of the county, and, further down the page, the Telford area.

    All titles are available from our On-line Mapshop or from selected bookshops in the area.

    The following maps are all taken from the OS 25" maps and reduced to a scale of approximately 15 inches to the mile. They are extremely detailed, showing individual houses, details such as railway tracks, pathways, pubs, factories and even minutiae such as fountains and signal posts. Obviously they cover quite a small area, normally a mile by a mile and a half each.
