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 Brough:
This detailed map covers the village of Brough, originally within the parish of Elloughton. The two had a combined population of just 1009 in 1901 but this would grow massively in the 20th century, following the building of a factory by the Blackburn Aeroplane & Motor Co in 1916. In 1908, however, this remained a somewhat straggling village and our map covers the area around the station, where features also include a corn factory, wharf, Skillings Lodge Farm, Brough House, and a smattering of houses. Coverage continues north to the Westfield Park area of Elloughton, and features here include Mill Hill, The Castle, (but note that the village centre is beyond this map). A small portion of southern Brantingham, around the Roman Road, is also included. The map also includes directories for Brantingham, Brough and Elloughton.
