Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Worcestershire

This page is divided into two parts. First, those parts of Worcestershire that are now part of the West Midlands county, including parts of Dudley, Sandwell and Birmingham. It is important to note that some of these maps cover parts of two or even three counties, and more confusion is caused by the fact that some were incorporated into Staffordshire or Warwickshire around 100 years ago, when Birmingham expanded. (Indeed, Halesowen is even more confusing, as it was once a detached portion of Shropshire.) Some places listed under Warwickshire (eg Sparkhill) were originally in Worcestershire). More information about individual maps is given in our On-line Mapshop.

To help give you an idea of the areas covered by the various maps, follow these links for index maps for (a) Stourbridge, Kidderminster & Stourport; (b) Birmingham, Halesowen, Kings Norton; and (c) Worcester and Malvern area.
