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)

Eastwood & Park Gate Works 1901
Detailed map covers an area on the northern fringe of Rotherham, stretching from Eastwood Vale northward to Park Gate Works, and from Eastwood View westward to Barbot Hall. The Midland Railway and GCR Sheffield & Mexborough line both cross the map, which includes Rotherham Road and Parkgate & Rawmarsh stations. Other features on a largely industrial map include Car House Colliery, British Wagon Works, Northfield Chemical Works, the southern half of Aldwarke Main Colliery with coke ovens, Sheffield & South Yorkshire Navigation, Basic Slag Manure Works, Park Gate Steel Works, and several little communities along Rotherham Road sandwiched between the works.
