Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Lancaster & Morecambe

We have published a small range of 5 maps for the Lancaster area. They give coverage of Lancaster itself, a historic city with its medieval castle, steeped in the history of England, and also the seaside resort of Morecambe and its neighbouring port, Heysham. Each map includes a specially written introduction.

All maps are available from our On-line Mapshop. Most maps are 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.
