Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Wiltshire

We have published a good selection of maps for Wiltshire towns, including a group of four for Swindon. Here are the details. The maps are extremely detailed, showing individual buildings and even minutiae such as fountains, footpaths, signal-boxes etc. Maps are available through selected bookshops or can be ordered direct through our On-line Mapshop.

Swindon is much the largest town in the county, famed for the development of the railways in the 19th century (although other industries have since replaced this). Railways (and a canal) are an important feature of these 4 maps, but also of great interest is the 'Old Town' on the SE map. There are generous extracts from directories on the reverse of the maps. Railway historians will find the bonus of a MSWJR timetable on the SW map. The index right shows the areas covered.
