THIS ITEM IS A 3 PAGE CATALOGUE OF THE CASSINI ENLARGED HISTORICAL ORDNANCE SURVEY MAPS. This catalogue comprises details and lists of the various different series of maps which are ALL AVAILABLE SEPARATELY for sale in my EBAY SHOP.

The catalogue consists of three separate pieces of A4 size paper, photocopied doublesided in black & white. The Total Price of the Catalogue Lists is 99p including 1st class post & packing. Please pay only by Paypal.

*** CASSINI MAPS ARE ENLARGED HISTORICAL ORDNANCE SURVEY MAPS of England & Wales: SEE YOUR HOME TOWN or where you family came from revealed in these Historical Maps : ENLARGED from original Ordnance Survey maps to match the scale and coverage of modern OS Landranger maps. Place old and new maps side by side to make a simple & direct comparison. See England & Wales BEFORE the countryside was obliterated by housing estates, industrial estates, bypasses, motorways, shopping developments etc. ***

You do not receive an actual map for 99p! - The actual maps are £7.99 each plus P&P and are advertised and listed individually elsewhere in my shop on Ebay. If you wish to buy an ACTUAL MAP now, you can look at the individual maps advertised in our Ebay Shop. To search for a map showing the town or village you are interested in, please enter the name in the SHOP SEARCH box on the left of this screen, click in the box 'in Titles & Descriptions', then 'Search'. 

The three series cover the whole of England and Wales. The first series is based upon Ordnance Survey's one inch to the mile Old Series maps, published between 1805-1874. This was the first accurate national survey and records a time of momentous transition from an agrarian to an industrialised society.  The second series is based upon the Revised New Series (coloured edition) from the 1890s whilst the third set is from the Popular Edition of the 1920s.

An additional series covering 64 areas of England & Wales so far is the unique Past & Present series which comprises 4 maps from 4 eras all on 1 sheet for each location. The details of these maps are included in the Catalogue offered for sale here OR are also on sale separately in our Ebay shop. 

View your area as it was in the mid 1800s, the 1890s or the 1920s - it has never been easier to compare the past with today using these ENLARGED maps. They are superb for anyone researching their family history : see the landscapes, towns, villages & farms as they used to be.

The mid 1800s are shown on 123 maps in the 'Old Series'.

The 1890s are shown on 122 maps in the 'Revised New Series'.

The 1920s are shown on 123 maps in the 'Popular Edition'.

All the maps in these sets are enlarged from original Ordnance Survey maps to enable easy comparison alongside an equivalent modern Ordnance Survey map:

Key Features:

  • Enlarged size for easy reading & comparison with a modern OS map
  • Carefully scanned, digitally re-projected & enlarged
  • Directly comparable with the modern OS Landranger map bearing the same sheet number.  
  • Scale increased from 1" to the mile to 1:50,000
  • Modern OS sheet number & grid references for easy comparison

Cassini Maps (formerly Timeline Maps, some sheets are published under this name) is a company specialising in sourcing, scanning, digitally enhancing and re-publishing historical maps in a variety of formats. Their aim is to produce maps of the highest quality which are also relevant to current-day research needs.

A central feature of the Historical Map series is that the originals have been combined, re-scaled and re-projected exactly to match Ordnance Survery's modern-day Landrangers®. They even have the same map identification number and the same British National Grid references. This enables direct comparison of the past and present in a way not possible with maps of different specifications. They are the same size as the Landrangers® when open or folded and have a similar laminated colour cover.

Whether you're a local historian, a genealogist, a student, a walker or someone with a general interest in the history of your area, these maps will be a valuable addition to your library. Although often hidden behind unfamiliar names or buried under concrete or tarmac, the past is all around us and waiting to be discovered. Cassini's Historical Map series will help point out the way.

Specification & Other information:

  • Cover - 4 colour gloss laminated
  • Sheet - 4 colour (Popular edition & Revised New Series) or 2 colour (Old Series)
  • Folded size - 135mm x 226mm
  • Sheet size - 1000mm x 890mm
  • Printed in the UK by Ordnance Survey

All maps are posted in secure, protective packaging.  Thank you for looking.

IMAGES: We have not shown scans of the detailed lists because they don't look very exciting! Instead, the scans show examples of selected front covers, samples from a couple of maps and a further diagram indicating all the sheets in both series.
