We have published more than 1,800 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group in Kent. 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.
Here are the details of maps for Tonbridge:
This detailed map shows the town of Tonbridge, broadly running north-south in the western half of the map, with countryside stretching eastward as far as the hamlet of Postern Heath. Coverage stretches from Tonbridge School southward to Quarry Hill Road and Pembury Road. Principal features include the castle, a surprisingly dominant feature on the map; the railway station with engine shed and junctions; Great Bridge, Medway Wharf, St Peter & St Paul's church, St Stephens church, Agricultural Hall, Hectorage, Walter's Farm, Tonbridge School, Priory Road, High Street, Hadlow Road. The River Medway meanders across the map and numerous rivulets are seen running into it. On the reverse is an extract from Kelly's Directory of 1905, listing the private residents.
An index map showing the area covered by the map is available here.
