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 Barnoldswick:
This is a detailed map of Barnoldswick, a small Yorkshire mill town which since council reorganisation is now in Lancashire. The Barnoldswick Branch of the Midland Railway travels from the south-east of the map into the town, with its Station being close to Foresters Buildings. Butts Mill and Calf Hall Shed are in the centre of the map, east of Higher Calf Hall. Other points of interest include Clough Mills, Moss & Long Ing Shed and Well House Mill. The reverse side of the map features extracts from a contemporary directory, including the Midland Railway Timetable 1916.
