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.

WEST YORKSHIRE

This detailed map covers the Kirkstall area of Leeds. The village of Kirkstall is near the centre of the map and shown in detail; features include St Stephen's church, Savins Mill, Commercial Road, Bridge Road, Abbey Mills, Kirkstall Abbey, Abbey House, Crooked Acres, tanneries, Kirkstall Bridge. East of the map is a stretch of the NER Leeds Northern railway with Headingley station. The River Aire runs through the map and west of it is the Midland Railway with Kirkstall station. Other features there include a good stretch of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, Kirkstall Brewery, Toads Hole Wood, Kirkstall Hall; several streets are being laid out for building between Bramley Hill and Raynville Road. Lincroft Gardens is in the SW corner of the map, Kirkstall Forge in the NW corner. This is a nice varied map, with industry, railways, canal, tramways as well as ongoing housing development and, of course, the romantic ruins of Kirkstall Abbey. We include a good selection of street directory entries on the reverse.
