 Old Ordnance Survey Maps

A selection of highly detailed "Old Ordnance Survey Maps", taken from the 1/2500 plans and reprinted at approximately 14" to the mile.

We are frequently asked what the maps actually show-if a particular village or street-sometimes-even an individual house! We have been asked to supply the map with the customers house exactly in the centre! Seldom are large scale maps available showing villages - they simply would not be viable . With the best will in the world we cannot answer all these questions or assist in your particular research. But it really is amazing the detail this series of maps show - bearing in mind the low cover price. We will always try and help where possible, but do bear the above points in mind when enquiring.

YORKSHIRE (South)

Templeborough & Tinsley 1921
Detailed map covers the Templeborough and Tinsley area SW of Rotherham and north of Sheffield. Templeborough Rolling Mills runs along the top of the map, the MR North Midland line runs down the east side, with numerous sidings. The main settlement is Tinsley, where features include St Lawrence's church, Standard Steel Works, Simplex Motor Works, Town Street. A small portion of the Sheffield & Tinsley Canal is shown. On the reverse we include about half of the earlier edition, 1901, for the same Tinsley area, showing a largely rural area before the various steelworks and rolling mills had been built - a total contrast.
