Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Stockport
We have published more than 3,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey
Map reprints, with a highly successful series for the Cheshire and Lancashire area. Most maps are taken
from the OS 1:2500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. Each covers an area of a mile and a half by a mile.
These show the areas in considerable detail, including individual houses.
For the central area of Stockport we have also reprinted one of the very early Five-foot plans. Originally published at a scale of
1:1056 or 5 feet to the mile, we have reduced them in scale to 1:1760 or a Yard to the Mile. The maps, though covering quite a small area, are
wonderfully detailed, showing such features as
capstans and mooring posts, lamp-posts, the layouts of back yards, and even the interior of certain buildings such as churches. For the urban historian they are
perhaps the most fascinating maps ever published by the Ordnance Survey.
Maps can be purchased on our On-line Mapshop.
