The large scale plans of the Ordnance Survey are quite unique. In a clear and
attractive manner they have portrayed the British towns and villages in detail
over the last 150 years. They show not just the streets, but virtually every
house; the complete track layouts of railways and tramways are given; factories,
mills and docks are all shown. The maps contain all the fascinating minutiae
that is the lifeblood of history and have become the most complete record of the
places where our ancestors lived and worked.
The Godfrey Edition is a major
undertaking to reprint these maps, in a convenient and affordable form, for
towns throughout Britain, Ireland and Wales. This map of Llandridod Wells as it
was in 1902 will delight local historians, genealogists and all who are
interested in the history of the town.
Also included is an introduction to the history of the area by Alice Lock,
together with extracts from a contemporary directory. Currently there are over
2200 titles available in this series, with more being released each month. You
can find the full list on the publisher's website.
