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.
The Godfrey Edition is a major undertaking to reprint these maps, in a convenient and affordable form, for towns throughout England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland. This map will delight local historians, genealogists and all who are interested in the history of Maidstone and Kent.
This series covers the southern half of Maidstone as far north as High Street and King Street. It includes an historical introduction by Peter Bagshaw, together with extracts from a contemporary directory. It links up with a companion map for the north of the town.
