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 73:

One Inch Sheet 73 North Holderness 1905 - published May 2003; intro by David Neave. ISBN.978-1-84151-512-0

This One Inch to the Mile map covers a coastal area of Yorkshire's East Riding, from Hornsea southward to Tunstall, westward to South Skirlaugh, part of the low-lying plain of Holderness. Small villages lie in this plain, while the long closed railway to Hornsea runs across the map. On the reverse we include a detailed map of the village of Aldbrough, together with a directory.

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.
