We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a major group for Yorkshire. 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 Eston:
This detailed map covers the small town of Eston, with coverage extending eastward to Eston Nab, Eston Beacon and Lackenby Bank. The town in 1927 was very small and includes Old Eston, South Eston and California. Features include the station, Sheep Beck Bridge, Christ Church, High Street, Jubilee Road, hospital. The various mineral lines are of especial interest and here include Eston Mines Sidings, Trustee Incline to Trustee Drift Level, Old Incline to Old Bank Drift Level, New Incline and tramway towards Lazenby Bank. Eston Bank with the site of Eston ironstone mines - the reason for the town's growth - is in the centre of the map. We include a 1905 directory of Eston on the reverse to complete the historical portrait.
