Hello, a welcome from
myself, John Ackerley, to everybody interested in maps of Yorkshire.
I’ve been a Yorkshire based collector of antique maps for nearly
forty
years and dealing in it for the past ten. As a collector it was always
my intention to obtain the best available examples of my interest, and
this remains my dealing objective - to provide any customer with items
that I would be proud to have in my own collection.

Look at the News and Fairs page to see this month's Special, and
to make a note in your diary of my next Fair when you will
be able to view a lot of my stock mounted ready for framing.
You can search the site by either Location or Theme by
initially double clicking on Stock List and then entering
the place name in Location, or alternatively selecting your
Theme from the options provided. New items are added weekly.
Good hunting, but in desperation you can always 'phone
me!

To this end this
website is entirely customer-friendly: I don’t include blurred, small
and falsely coloured images of my stock, I only ask for cheques in
payment after you’ve approved your purchase (except for first time
buyers), every item is despatched to you on a sale or return basis, and
items which are bulky, fragile or very valuable can be delivered by
myself to your home for viewing.
I am happy to
discuss any item via email
john@yorkshiremaps.co.uk or over the phone (07793
811450).
I am also interested in
buying suitable material, as well as advising on and providing
historical backgrounds to items owned by others.
I guarantee that
everything yorkshiremaps.co.uk sells is original genuine material and dated as
accurately as possible. I guarantee the quality of every item as being
as good as the best available allowing for age, rarity and type of use,
but where significant defects are present these will be highlighted.
Measurements are in inches, height first, and normally describe the
printed area. Buyers not satisfied with posted items may return them for
a full refund subject to the terms and conditions
of ordering.
Antique maps have proved their
attraction to all manner of people - family historians, archivists,
interior decorators, businesses, researchers - but most of all to
private individuals to whom a map can conjure up all sorts of memories
of earlier homes, holidays, events and experiences, or provide an
excellent gift for friends far and near.
Antique maps and those
of more recent times can be highly decorative and add colour and
interest to the home as well as providing talking points for visitors,
neighbours and friends alike. Yorkshire is blessed with all the features
maps highlight so well - roads, rivers, hills, coastline, towns and
villages, hamlets and cities, industry and agriculture, canals,
railways, everything in fact from our past. Antique maps
show how these have changed over time, cataloguing most of the social,
industrial and economic trends over the past four hundred years. No
other medium or British county pictures all these developments so
graphically and completely - the perfect snapshots over time.
