We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group for the Wiltshire area. 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 Trowbridge:
This detailed map shows the town of Trowbridge including Longfield and Lower Studley. The left hand side of the map shows a large area of farmland, interupted by Trowle Manor Court Farm, Talbot Farm and Cockhill Farm. The contrasting right hand side of the map displays Trowbridge and the Great Western Railway track that cuts through it. St Thomas's Church, St James's Church, St Stephen's Church, St John's RC Church, the Holy Trinity Chapel and two Methodist Chapels are illustrated on the sheet. Other places of interest are also marked on the map such as the Royal Artillery Barracks, Usher's Brewery, Bellefield House, and its various mills and iron works. The map is double-sided to give maximum coverage and on the reverse is part of adjacent sheet 38.08 continuing coverage eastward and including Ashton Mills and Hilperton Road. A list or private residents from an 1899 directory is also included.
