Create a beautiful personalised map print with our live preview and select different maps from the 1800's and 1900's. We have an archive of thousands of high resolution scans of original historical ordnance survey maps that accurately show roads, buildings, landmarks, etc from over a century ago. Including several professionally framed options.
We also offer several other old maps that are not available online so please contact us if you have any requests for maps of specific time periods and we can provide you with options.
Each sheet has been carefully joined together to form a full join-less map of the entirety of Great Britain. Whilst every effort has been made to accurately align each sheet using the known boundaries of Ordnance Survey historical maps, there may however be some areas that don't line up exactly. This is partly because maps from a century ago were not surveyed nor intended to be used with the greater accuracy of present-day technologies, but also potentially due to the warping of paper map sheets over time.

How Are The Old Maps Made?
We have an archive of thousands of high resolution scans of old maps which have gone through the time-consuming and meticulous process of carefully aligning each sheet (some OS map series's are formed of almost 4000 map sheets). Each has further been checked with historical map records for accuracy.
How Accurate Are The Old OS Maps?
The OS map series were and are typically the most accurate maps of Great Britain and although surveying equipment was not as accurate a century ago as it now is today, the maps are detailed down to individual buildings for certain map series's. However, whilst every effort has been made to accurately align each sheet using the known boundaries of Ordnance Survey historical maps, there may however be some areas that don't line up exactly. This is partly because maps from a century ago were not surveyed nor intended to be used with the greater accuracy of present-day technologies, but also potentially due to the warping of paper map sheets over time.
What Is Displayed On The Maps?
We offer a few options for old OS maps dating back to 1885, the OS County Series is the earliest and most detailed old OS map created and covers the whole of Great Britain. It is detailed enough to display individual buildings, landmarks, bodies of water, roads, etc even in remote areas. You will also be able to see a preview of your selected area.

Print Quality
If you choose to upload your art work it will be printed with thick 310gsm archival art paper with a matt finish, which gives crisp lines and a wide tonal range of colour. Made with 100% recycled cotton, the paper we use is one of the most environmentally friendly papers. The paper conforms to ISO 9706 code ensuring museum quality for highest age resistance and is both acid and lignin-free. We use high quality inks which prevent fading over time thus maintaining deep blacks and colours for many years.
