Old Ordnance Survey Maps

of Furness

We have a small range of maps for the Furness area of Lancashire, since 1974 transferred to Cumbria. The main feature is a group of 5 maps for Barrow-in-Furness, a major shipbuilding town and now famous for submarines, but we also cover Ulverston, an historic market town, Furness Abbey, and the small resort of Grange-over-Sands, often seen as a gateway to the Lake District. We also cover the whole of Lancashire at the Inch to the Mile scale. All maps are available from our On-line Mapshop.

Since 1974 this area has been part of Cumbria. See this page for a summary of its local government history.

The maps we publish for towns in ‘Lancashire over the Water’

The following maps are all taken from the OS 25″ maps and reduced to a scale of approximately 15 inches to the mile. They are extremely detailed, showing individual houses, details such as railway tracks, pathways, pubs, factories and even minutiae such as fountains and signal posts. Each map includes an introduction.

We also cover the area in our Inch to the Mile series

Here are the principal sheets:

See the One Inch page for further details of the Inch to the Mile maps.
