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.
Three versions of this map are available, showing how the area developed across the years. They cover West Hartlepool - the new town created by Ward Jackson in the the mid 19th century as a major shipbuilding and coal shipping port. The town developed from the old hamlet of New Stranton. Coverage stretches from Bengal Street eastward to the coast and from Middleton and Central Dock southward to Musgrave Street.
The map links up with Sheet 37.07 Hartlepool to the north and Stranton to the south.
