The Charles Close Society - Maps From the Past

Below are the Society's map reproductions that they have undertaken.

The Society have taken rare or interesting maps from either their archive or from the wider field and scanned and enhanced them. An essay is written to accompany and then the finished product is printed by the same company that print the current OS maps, Dennis Maps of Frome, Somerset.

All the maps except the London Transport and Crystal Palace maps are still in print and can be ordered from CCS. Go here
