More news: yorkshiremaps.co.uk carries many of the original 1 inch, 6 inch and 25 inch to 1 mile Ordnance Survey maps dating from the middle of the nineteenth century to the second WW. These are flat unfolded sheets on very good quality paper, which is the reason they have survived despite considerable handling, any loss of condition  usually being restricted to the edges. Also available are many immediate post WWII 2.5 inch OS maps, in the rare state of never having been folded and in mint unused condition. All these maps provide insights into the past with the never-equalled accuracy of the Ordnance Survey.
