Information |
Description |
|---|---|
Date(s) |
The epoch or time period that the map was created. Historical map data is available for different time periods referred to as epochs. These epochs roughly equate to the first County Series survey, and subsequent revisions, and the first National Grid resurvey and subsequent sheet revisions. Not all areas will have mapping available for each epoch as the number of revisions for each county varies. |
Price |
The price of the historical map |
Survey Scale |
The original Ordnance Survey scale of the historical map. Landmark Historical maps are not plotted to their original scale when printed from the A3 PDF or GIF files supplied. |
Coverage |
Tells you how much of the site is covered by the map offered. If the coverage is less than 100% then you should view the preview available to ensure that you are happy with the map available. |
Preview |
We recommend that you check the previews supplied for suitability before purchasing your historical maps. The majority of historical mapping is in excellent condition resulting in clean line work and backgrounds. However, a number of factors affect the quality of the scanned image. For example ingrained dust on the maps, in a small proportion of cases, resulted in dark areas. The paper of some maps has become slightly distorted, affecting the overall geometry of the map; this is especially the case with the 1:10 560 scale County Series maps. As a result, these maps are not perfect rectangles and once de-skewed there may be some loss of data and a less than perfect join when the maps are lined up. However, this category of maps is a small proportion of the total. |
