We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group for the Yorkshire 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 Filey:
This highly detailed map is double-sided for maximum coverage. The main map covers most of the town of Filey, a town which developed as a seaside spa in the 1820s, grew further as a resort when the railway arrived in 1846, and later became a destination for many famous visitors, including Jenny Lind, Delius and Charlotte Bronte. The beach was also used for car racing and as a landing strip in the early days of aviation. Features on the map include the station, St John's church, virtually all the town with each house neatly delineated, Foreshore Road, Convent, Muston Grange, Eller Howe Haven, hotels, St Oswald's church, Church Ravine, Martin's Gill. On the reverse we include much of adjacent sheet 94.16 which extends coverage north to include Carr Nase and Filey Briggs, the rocky outcrop that shelters Filey from the north. The original Filey Spa is sited here, together with a Roman signal station.
And here is an index map showing the area covered.
