Inch to the Mile Maps of Ireland

  • These Old Ordnance Survey Maps normally cover an area of about 18 miles by 12 miles and are especially good at showing railways, roads and canals, and at giving a broad view of a wider area. Each includes an introduction and a more detailed map of a small town or village. They are available through our On-line Mapshop

    This Inch to the Mile map covers the area east and south of Belfast, with coverage stretching from Sydenham eastward to Ballywalter (Portavogie is split by the east margin), and from Newtownards southward to Saintfield.

    Towns covered include Newtownards, Comber Saintfield, part of east Belfast, Kircubbin, Grey Abbey and the villages of Ballywalter, Ballyhalbert, Mill Isle, Carryduff and Ardmillan. Much of Strangford Lough is shown and other features of interest include long lost sections of the Belfast & Co Down Railway through Newtownards and Saintfield.

    On the reverse we include the two town plans for Comber, here reduced to 18 inches to the mile. These show the town in detail, including station, St Mary's church, Upper and Lower Distilleries, The Square, Spinning Mill, Castle House, churches. Also included is the town plan for Saintfield, which includes station, Main Street area in detail, churches, Fair Green etc.

    To complete a publication packed with information, we include 1899 directories for both Comber and Saintfield.

    It is not possible to list the many hamlets, farmsteads and other topographical features shown on these maps. However, you may find it useful if we list the towns and principal villages or church parishes that are included on this map. Links are given for those for which detailed large-scale maps are also available.
