Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Stockport


This page gives details of the maps in the area now covered by the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport. This straddles the old border between Lancashire and Cheshire, including areas from both counties. Hopefully this page will help you decide which maps you require.

Each map includes an introduction to the history of the area; most of these are by the well known local historian Chris Makepeace, who has given great support to this series since its early days. Chris also runs a stall at many local history events, where a comprehensive range of our maps is displayed.
