We have published more than 2,100 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a good range of maps in Newcastle. 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 Jesmond:
We have published two years for this map to show how the area has changed over the years. Features on the 1895 version show St Andrew's & Jesmond Cemetery, Northern Counties Orphanage, Moor Edge Farm, Coxlodge Hall, St George's Church, Jesmond Dene House, Town Moor, Newcastle & Tynemouth Railway Line and the Small Pox Hospital. Coverage stretches as far east as Manor House and Jesmond Gardens and as far west as Kenton Lodge. On the reverse of both maps we include extracts from a street directory for Jesmond.
The map links up with Tyneside Sheet 30 Gosforth to the north, Tyneside Sheet 5 High Heaton to the east, Tyneside Sheet 12 Byker & Heaton to the south-east and Tyneside Sheet 11 Central Newcastle to the south.
