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 Pudsey:
This detailed map covers much of Pudsey, just west of Leeds; the map also extends west to Delph End and Upper Moor, and south to the Moravian settlement of Fulneck. Other areas or hamlets noted on the map include Windmill Hill, Chapeltown, Greenside, Little Moor, Bankhouse and Bankhouse Bottom. The GNR Pudsey & Low Moor Branch runs through the map, partly in tunnel, with Greenside station. Coverage stretches north to Church Lane and Crawshaw Hill, east to Littlemoor Road. Features include Pudsey Park, Littlemoor Hall, Hillthorpe, New Street Mills, St Lawrence's church, Round Hill, Waterloo Mills, Upper Moor Quarries, Gibraltar Mill, Smalewell Mill, Black Carr, Black Hey, Wild Grove. The Moravian village of Fulneck, in the SE corner of the map, will be of especial interest and, as Gordon Dickinson writes, "is still one of West Yorkshire's hidden architectural delights". On the reverse we include an 1889 directory of Pudsey private residents.
The map links up with sheet 217.05 Bradford East to the east.
