Old Ordnance Survey Inch to the Mile Maps

  • These maps normally cover an area of about 18 miles by 12 miles and are especially good at showing railways, roads and canals, and at giving a broad view of a wider area. Each includes an introduction and a more detailed map of a small town or village. They are available through our On-line Mapshop

Railway features include the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway, the main GNR line, and the Bourne & Sleaford Branch. Other features include Grimsthorpe Park, Buckminster Park, Harlaxton Park. On the reverse we include maps of the village of Billingborough and of Grimsthorpe, with its castle.


    It is not possible to list the many hamlets, farmsteads and other topographical features shown on these maps. However, you may find it useful if we list the towns and principal villages or church parishes that are included on this map. Links are given for those for which detailed large-scale maps are also available.
