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 Washington:
This detailed map of the original Washington is double-sided to give maximum coverage. The main map covers the area west of the village, a semi-rural landscape which includes Old Washington, the Washington Wagonway, Brandy Row, Washington Colliery. Wagonman's Row is at the top of the map. The map extends west across Washington Moor to High Washington, Havannah Terrace and the terrace known as New York. On the reverse we include a large part of adjacent sheet 7.15 and this includes the actual village of Washington, including Old Hall, Holy Trinity church, Dame Margaret's Home, RC church. The hamlet known as New Washington is at the top of the map. At the extreme right is a section of the Leamside & Ferryhill railway line with Usworth station.
