Old Ordnance Survey Inch to the Mile Maps

  • These 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

    • Here is information about Sheet 19:

  • One Inch Sheet 19 Allendale & Hexhamshire 1866 - published 1998; intro by Robert Forsythe. ISBN.978-0-85054-976-8

    This early One Inch Ordnance Survey map covers a rural part of south Northumberland, with Allendale running through it. This includes the railway from Hexham to Allendale Town. On the reverse is a detailed map of the village of Blanchland, which stands in the lower right corner of the one inch map.

    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.

  • Northumberland: Acomb, Allendale Town, Bardon Mill, Blanchland, Catton, Haltwhistle, Haydon Bridge, Hexham, Hunstanworth, Melridge, Sandhoe, Slaley, St John Lee, Warden.
