THE ALAN GODFREY MAPS - Reprints of Old Ordnance Survey Maps. Almost 3,000 titles, covering most of the UK and parts of Ireland. For most of us interested in Local and Family History, they can offer a window on the streets in which our ancestors lived at the turn of the 19th century and sometimes earlier, at a scale of approx 14 inches to the mile (1:2500). The local maps can be purchased for a modest cost from the Manchester and Lancashire Family History shop on their website HERE |

My personal interests in the Greater Manchester area are covered on the maps shown on this location/layout grid. The maps included are: HARPURHEY & COLLYHURST 1891, 104.03; NEWTON HEATH 1915, 104.04; GORTON & BELLE VIEW 1905, 104.16; DENTON (WEST) 1916, 105.13; |

The maps all come folded with 10 parts; 2 rows of 5. these form my grid of A1 to A5 top row and B1 to B5 bottom row. There are 7,500 entries, and they are indexed in alphabetical order, referencing the map and their position on the map, for eg. 'OLDHAM 1907, Ainsworth St , B1' I cannot guarantee that I have identified every street etc., but there are enough for it to be helpful and I hope you can find it useful. |
