We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a major group in 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 Hull (NE)
This detailed map covers the busy NE area of Hull, with coverage stretching from Cannon Street station northward to Lorraine Street, and from St Paul's Street eastward to New Bridge Road. Holderness Road runs through the map, as does a winding portion of the River Hull, lined with mills, wharves and factories. Features on the map include stretches of the Hull & Barnsley Railway, the North Eastern Railway incl Wilmington station and goods sheds; tramways, Wilmington, Sulcoates Cemetery, Hull Municipal Hospital (almshouses), Thistleton, cement works, Summergangs, Reckitt's Kingston Works, Wincolmlee Colour Works, the Foredyke Stream, Holderness House, St Mary's church, Cannon Street station and approaches, Stoneferry Canister Works. The many works alongside the railway will fascinate industrial historians, and the map is also noteworthy for its many cramped streets with equally cramped houses. On the reverse we include street directories for Cleveland Street, Cumberland Street, Durham Street, Oxford Street and Swann Street.
The map links up with sheet 240.03 Hull East to the south.
