We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a large group in County Durham, where we are based. 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 Trimdon Grange & Trimdon Colliery:
This detailed map covers two villages: Trimdon Grange, near the centre of the map, and much of Trimdon Colliery, about half a mile away. Features include Trimdon Grange Colliery, old quarries, Trimdon Colliery (disused), the Ferryhill & East Hartlepool railway, Trimdon station, Deaf Hill, St Paul's church. The villages are shown in detail, with railway tracks, houses and outhouses. On the reverse we include an 1894 directory of Trimdon. This map will be invaluable to all students of Durham's mining villages; please note that it does not show the more rural Trimdon Village which appears on the reverse of our Hartlepool & East Durham 1913 One Inch map.
