Old Ordnance Survey Maps of North Yorkshire

  • This is our coverage of North Yorkshire. The present North Yorkshire was formed in 1974, comprising most of the former North Riding, the northern part of the West Riding, and parts of the East Riding. In 1996 the City of York became a unitary authority. Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland, formerly in Cleveland county, were transferred back to North Yorkshire but also became unitary authorities. See their separate pages.
  • North Yorkshire is now divided into 7 districts for administrative purposes: Craven, Hambleton, Borough of Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Borough of Scarborough, Selby. The county town is Northallerton. Ripon (in Harrogate district) became a city in 1836.
  • The following titles are all taken from the OS 25" maps and reduced to a scale of approximately 14 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 covers an area of a mile and a half by one mile, and includes an introduction.
