County Maps
The Godfrey Edition reprints of Old Ordnance Survey Maps are invaluable for historians and genealogists. Many are taken from the highly detailed 1:2500 plans, reprinted at about 14 inches to the mile, showing individual houses, railways, factories, churches, mills, canals. Each map includes historical notes on the area. Alongside these large‑scale sheets, Alan Godfrey also publishes the smaller‑scale Inch‑to‑the‑Mile series, and a range of maps based on the OS five‑foot plans.
