Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Wigan

We continue to develop our range of maps for Wigan, the latest maps being for the Bamfurlong and Ashton in Makerfield areas, a landscape of collieries and railways interspersed with countryside. Further details of individual maps are given on our On-line Mapshop. We hope to publish several more Wigan maps over the next year or so.

All the maps are filled with information, and especially of the area's great coalmining past, with a wealth of collieries, iron works and industrial railways shown in detail. For a sample extract of a map, click on the thumbnail right.
