The large-scale plans of the Ordnance Survey are quite unique. In a clear and attractive manner they have portrayed Britain's 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 and docks are all shown. These maps have become the most complete record of the places where our ancestors lived and worked.
