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 Malton & Norton:
This map captures Malton in great detail, with individual houses neatly delineated. Three townships are shown: Old and New Malton, and the sister town of Norton on the other side of the Derwent. Malton is in the historic North Riding, Norton in the East Riding.
The town centre of Malton, ie New Malton, gets the most complete coverage on our map; features here include the Town Hall, St Michael's church, St Leonard's church, Yorkergate, Castlegate, Wheelgate, Newbiggin, Horse Market Road, Poor Law Institution. Coverage extends west along Castle Howard Road and Middlecave Road as far as Middlecave House. Old Malton Road extends NE past the site of the old Roman Fort to Old Malton, partly shown on the map; the church and Abbey House are at the margin. A section of the old Thirsk & Malton railway is shown with a siding to the quarry. South of the Derwent in Norton are the railway station, Commercial Street, Church Street, Wood Street, Wold Road, the map extending south as far as the cemetery. On the reverse we include lists of private residents for Malton and Norton from a 1905 directory.
