Collection: London in 1896 - Old Ordnance Survey maps, 1:10560 scale (6inch to the mile)

The old County Series 1:10560 scale Ordnance Survey maps of London were produced between the 1880s and 1950s. These maps are also known as the "six-inch to one mile" maps, meaning that six inches on the map represents one mile on the ground. They were used for a variety of purposes, including planning, land surveying, and property valuation.

The maps are highly detailed, showing individual buildings, roads, railways, footpaths, boundaries, and features such as rivers, woods, and hills. They also include information on land use, such as agricultural land, woodland, and urban areas. The maps are black and white, with some having water coloured blue.
