Old Ordnance Survey Maps of North East England

We are based in the North East, and our series began here, in 1981. Not surprisingly, we have a good and ever-changing range of maps for the region.

The two obvious series here are for Northumberland and Durham. However, in the 1890s the Ordnance Survey also allocated a small series to Tyneside, spanning the historic county boundary of the Tyne and so enabling it to show this important area on more convenient sheetlines. We continue this tradition - Tyneside Sheet 19 was in fact our very first publication - and it is reflected in our cataloguing below.

For convenience we divide this catalogue into various groups, broadly reflecting today's counties or administrative areas. Note that Some maps (eg Walker & Hebburn) will be listed on more than one page. However at the foot of the list there is another link which will give you the entire North East list on one page.

Follow these links for the various areas:

Most maps in the Godfrey Edition are taken from the 25 inch to the mile map and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. They cost just £ 2.25 each.
