Ordnance Survey Maps of Cheshire 25" 1906-12

Description

This CD (originally a two-CD set) contains the Ordnance Survey large-scale plans of Cheshire, surveyed at 1:2500 (25.344 inches to the mile) between 1904 and 1910. These were scanned from the originals with kind permission and help from the Cheshire Record Office and various libraries and colleges in the area.

Most of the originals used were in excellent condition considering that they were almost a century old, and the resulting scans at 300dpi are of very good quality, so that you can zoom in to see features only a few feet across. It's also a simple matter to navigate from one map to its neighbours to the north, south, east or west, or to print out parts or all of the maps.

The coverage is 99% complete for the whole county, but some uncultivated rural areas were not surveyed at the large scale, and some plans could not be located in a very small number of cases. The Adobe Acrobat viewer comes supplied with the CD.
