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 Marfleet & Hull (East):
The dominant feature on this map is the Alexandra Dock, opened in 1885 in association with the new Hull & Barnsley Railway. The map also covers the area along the Hedon Road, from Hotham Street eastward to Marfleet Lane, and includes much of the village of Marfleet (but not its church). Other features include Hedon Road Cemetery, Drypool & Southcoates Cemetery, Jews Burial Ground, Sanatorium, Prison (blank for security reasons), a stretch of theNER Withernsea Branch, St Bartholomew church, and the 'New Town' area around Lee Smith Street. The dock is shown in detail, with railway tracks, Alexandra Dock station, graving docks, engine shed, jetties etc. A directory for Hedon Road and Alexandra Dock is included, together with one for Marfleet.
The map links up with sheet 240.03 Hull East to the west.
