We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group for the Humberside 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 Hull (West):
We have published two versions of this detailed map, showing how the area developed across the years. It covers a very busy area of west Hull, with coverage stretching from Albert Avenue and Plane Street eastward to Prospect Street and Paragon Square, and from Botanic Gardens station southward to Gordon Street and Lister Street. The many features include Hull Paragon station with its approaches, showing track layout and such details as signal posts, engine shed and signal boxes; Park Street Barracks, Londesborough Barracks, Workhouse, tramways, Anlaby Road, Spring Bank, West Park, General Cemetery, Western Cemetery, Hymers College, Hull Royal Infirmary, cattle market, Master Mariners Almshouses and vast swathes of housing, each indivdual house being shown. We include street directory extracts on the reverse, those for the 1908 map including Brook Street, Great Passage Street and Spring Bank.
The map links up with Sheets 240.03 Hull (East) to the east and 240.06 Hull Hessle Road to the south.
