We have published more than 1,900 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a large selection 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 Goole:
This detailed map covers the town of Goole, which was a small village until the 1820s but where the Aire & Calder Navigation Company then established a new town. Docks were then built for the transhipment of goods from the Knottingley & Goole Canal to seagoing vessels. Our map covers most of the town and features include station, St John's church, North Street, Booth Ferry Road, Clifton Gardens, Shuffleton, Tompits Holmes and the streets and houses in these areas. The docks are the dominant feature, including Railway Dock, Aldam Dock, Ship Dock, Barge Dock, Ouse Dock, The Basin, Bonding Dock, each shown with railway connections, swing bridges, locks, cranes, even mooring posts. On the reverse we include extracts from a Directory of Goole in 1889.
