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

    On the reverse we include a detailed map of Swanlinbar itself, with individual houses neatly delineated, mostly alongside the main (only) street; other features include churches, Trivia House, Constabulary Barracks, Long Bridge, St Mary's Presbytery.

    It is not possible to list the many hamlets, farmsteads and other topographical features shown on these maps.
