Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Northern 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.

Although Tyne & Wear did not exist as a county at the time of our maps, we have used it here as a useful way of grouping the five metropolitan boroughs. In fact, the Ordnance Survey created a 'Tyneside' series in the 1890s to enable it to include both sides of the Tyne.
