Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Yarmouth & Gorleston

We have published more than 1,800 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a growing title range in East Anglia. 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. 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. For other information and Prices, see Index Page.

    We have published a set of three detailed maps for Yarmouth and Gorleston. They link up with each other to provide good coverage. We hope to publish a map for the north of Yarmouth in due course. All three maps include areas of Suffolk, the relevant Suffolk Sheet numbers being 2.03, 2.07 and 2.11.

    The Great Yarmouth map covers the very busy centre of Yarmouth, with coverage stretching from St Nicholas Road and Priory Plain southward to the Royal Naval Hospital, and from the coast inland to the Midland & Gt Northern railway (but note that the main station is north of this map). Features include the River Yare, East Suffolk line with station, Southtown, Cobholm Island, Market Place, King Street, St Georges Park, Britannia Pier, The Jetty, Wellington Pier, Winter Gardens, tramways, Town Hall, South Quay, railway lines along quay. A major feature is the extraordinary range of narrow yards, streets and rows on what was the medieval centre; many of these disappeared during bombing in the 2nd World War. On the reverse directory extracts lists the private residents A-H.

    The Yarmouth (South) map continues coverage southward to Gorleston Priory. Features here include the Royal Artillery Barracks, Nelson's Monument, South Beach, Fish Wharf, Southtown Common, Gorleston North station, Malthouse Quay, Otter's Farm, northern part of Gorleston High Street.
