We have published more than 2,100 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 Mirfield NW:
This detailed map covers the NW area of Mirfield, and although it seems, at first glance, relatively empty, it is packed with interest. Coverage extends from Cooper Bridge station eastward to Water Royd Lane, and from Nab Lane northward to Roe Head Mill. Features include Roe Head, where the Bronte sisters went to school, the College of the Resurrection and House of the Resurrection, Nab, Christ Church Battyeford, Bracken Hill, the Three Nuns Inn (named after the three nuns from nearby Kirklees Priory who caused great scandal), sections of the Calder and Battye Ford Cut, West Riding Flour Mills, Nun Brook Print Works, Kitson Hill, Mirfield Moor, Three Nuns Pit with tramway, Mirfield Moor Colliery, Westroyd, Taylor Hall Brickworks, etc. It is said that Robin Hood was buried close to the Three Nuns Inn.
