We have published more than 1,800 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, some 30 of them in the Essex area. 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. 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. For other information and Prices, see Index Page.
Here are the details of maps for Thaxted:
This detailed map shows the small town of Thaxted. The town centre is at the top of the main map, including the church, Town Street, Newbiggin Street, and coverage extends about half a mile to the east, and a mile south. The terminus of the Elsenham & Thaxted Railway is also on the map. On the reverse we include a little of adjoining sheet 14.15, showing the north of the town. Outside the town the map is very rural. We also include a commercial directory from 1895, and a timetable for the Thaxted-Elsenham railway in 1915.
