I lived in Shropshire for many years, and it was here that my business can be said to have started when I began dealing in old maps. I have also worked in both Shrewsbury and Ironbridge so obviously the area has a special appeal for me.
Information pages are currently being added for individual maps. Simply follow the links where these have been added.
The main strengths of our Shropshire series are a group of four maps for Shrewsbury (including Meole Brace) and a growing group of titles for the area now known as Telford. These will be of great interest to industrial archaeologists.
Meole Brace was my home for 14 years so, as you can imagine, I enjoyed writing the introduction for that map myself. The other Shrewsbury maps have an introduction by the renowned historian, Barrie Trinder.
And here are the maps for the Telford area. Each has an introduction by Barrie Trinder; most also include extracts from contemporary directories.
Finally, here are our maps for the towns in the south of the county. Click on the links for further information on individual maps.
Several of our one inch to the mile maps also cover parts of Shropshire. For a full list of our one inch maps, plus index maps, go to the One Inch page
Maps in the Godfrey Edition are taken from the 25 inch to the mile map and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. They cost just £ 2.25 each. For a full list of west Midlands maps, return to the West Midlands page
