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.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE

Amersham 1897
Detailed map covers the 'old town' of Amersham, shortly before the great changes brought by the Metropolitan Railway. The station, opened in 1892, is in the NE corner, some distance from the town which is centred on the High Street. Features here include St Mary's church, Workhouse, Town Hall, malthouse, Crown Farm, Bury Farm, River Misbourne, brewery, cemetery, Whielden Street. To the east is Bury End, with Bury Mill, but otherwise Amersham appears as a small country town. A 1903 directory of Amersham is on the reverse.
