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 Hornsea:
This detailed map covers the small town of Hornsea, a few miles east of Hull. The town lies between Hornsea Mere, part of which is shown on the map, and the sea. A port at Hornsea Beck, just east of the town, was destroyed by coastal erosion in the 16th century, but Hornsea developed as a modest seaside resort with the arrival of the railway in 1864. Our map covers most of the town, and features on the main map include the Old Hall, railway terminus, St Nicholas church, Market Place, The Oval, Grosvenor Gardens, The Hall, Victoria Gardens, Cliff Road. On the reverse we include part of adjacent sheet 197.07, extending coverage south to include Hornsea Bridge and Edenfield; features here include Hornsea Bridge station, part of the Mere, Kirkholme, cemetery, Trinity House Farm.
