Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Westmorland


  • A small group of maps for Westmorland is a well established feature in The Godfrey Edition. All maps are available from our On-line Mapshop or from selected bookshops in the area. In addition to the large scale maps of principal towns, we are also publishing reprints of the Inch to the Mile maps of the county.

    The following maps are all taken from the OS 25" maps and reduced to a scale of approximately 15 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. Obviously they cover quite a small area, normally a mile by a mile and a half each.
