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 Holmfirth:
This detailed map covers Holmfirth, famous today as the setting for much of 'The Last of the Summer Wine'.

Our map covers most of the village and features include Holy Trinity church, railway station, Cinder Hills, Under Bank, Swan Bank Mill, Gully, New Gate, New Fold, Cliff, Lane End, New Town, Bridge Fold, Ribbleden Mills, Bridge Mills, Victoria Square, Hill, Victoria Iron Works, Dyson's Mill, Prickleden Mill, Lower Mills, Spring Lane Mills, Riverside Mills, St John's church. In the top right corner is part of the village of Wooldale, incl Wooldale Hall, Kirkroyds. A directory of Holmfirth is included on the reverse. With indiviudal houses neatly delineated this is a splendidly detailed portrait of a much loved village - even for those who have never visited in person.
