Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Middlesbrough

For the old town of Middlesbrough we are issuing this wonderfully detailed Five-foot plan. Originally published at a scale of 1:1056 or 5 feet to the mile, we have reduced it in scale to 1:1760 or a Yard to the Mile. The maps, though covering quite a small area, are very detailed, even including the interiors of some public buildings, such as churches. For the urban historian they are perhaps the most fascinating maps ever published by the Ordnance Survey.

Each map includes a specially written introduction to the area. They are available through our On-line Mapshop
