We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a major group for the Leeds 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 Leeds (East):
This detailed map covers the eastern fringe of Leeds. It includes the developing area around Harehills Lane, with many streets being built up at the time, also southward along York Road. On the east of these are Harehills Cemetery and Harehills Recreation Ground. Coverage then extends eastward through what was still open country to Killingbeck Smallpox Hospital and Killingbeck Hall. Other features include the tramway along York Road to Halton Dial, Broom Hill Farm, York Road Iron Works, Osmondthorpe Old Hall, and Whitebeck. We include a selection of street directory entries on the reverse, for Bellbrooke Avenue/Grove/Place, Compton Road, Dawlish Avenue/Mount/Road, Harehills Lane, Nowell Crescent/Grove/Lane/Mount, Osmondthorpe Lane.
