The story

About this print

A personalized historic Ordnance Survey map print centered on any location in Great Britain or Ireland. We use the OS County Series (1888-1913) as standard in Great Britain and the OS Six-Inch 2nd Edition (1888-1915) in Ireland, so you get the streets, field boundaries and place names as they were over a century ago. Add optional custom text in the lower right: a place name, names, or a date.

Our bespoke float mounted frame is designed specifically to show off the handmade deckled edges of the print. The artwork is float mounted onto the backing board and set inside a solid FSC wood gallery frame, so the torn edges and the depth of the cotton paper stay visible.

Coverage: England, Scotland, Wales and their associated islands, plus the whole of Ireland, north and south, from Belfast to Dublin, Cork and Galway. Irish locations use the original Ordnance Survey six-inch survey of Ireland.

Printed in-house in the UK on 100% sustainable cotton rag paper with a genuine deckled edge. Made to order, carefully packed and dispatched with tracked delivery.

FAQs

01. Which areas can the OS map show?

Anywhere in England, Scotland and Wales, including their islands. We also cover the whole of Ireland, both Northern Ireland and the Republic. For a location anywhere else, try our Special Place Map.

02. How old is the map?

We use the Ordnance Survey County Series (1888-1913) as standard in Great Britain and the OS Six-Inch 2nd Edition (1888-1915) in Ireland, so the streets, field boundaries and place names are as they were over a century ago.

03. Can I choose a different historic edition?

Yes. In Great Britain, choose from four: the County Series (1888-1913, our standard), the Hills Edition (1885-1903), the Provisional Edition (1937-1961) and the Seventh Series (1955-1961). Add a note at checkout with the one you would like. For Irish locations you can also choose the 1st Edition (1829-1842) or the 1st Revision (1840s-1860s). We can't supply other editions or years.

04. What if my house didn't exist back then?

The map shows the area as it was surveyed, so newer roads and houses won't appear. We center it on your location so you can see what stood there before.

05. How much area will my print cover?

We print every map at its original survey scale, so the area depends on the size and edition. With the standard six-inch maps (the County Series in Great Britain and the Six-Inch maps of Ireland), an 8" print covers about 1.2 miles across, 12" about 1.8 miles and 16" about 2.4 miles. The Provisional Edition covers about 2.9 to 5.7 miles, and the one-inch Hills Edition and Seventh Series about 7.2 to 14.4 miles, from 8" to 16". Your location sits in the center. Choose a proof when ordering to check the area before we print.

06. Can I add my own text?

Yes. Add names, a date or the place name, shown in the lower right of the print.

07. What is a float mounted frame?

The print is float mounted onto the backing board so its handmade deckled edges stay visible, then set in a solid FSC wood gallery frame in black or white.

08. Can I see the design before it is printed?

If you would like to check it first, choose "Yes please" under Proof Required? when ordering. We email you a proof within 24 hours and only print once you approve it, and you can ask for changes at that stage. A proof adds about 1 business day. Without it, we print as soon as it is ready.

09. How long does delivery take?

Every print is made to order and dispatched tracked. Please order in good time before your occasion. Live delivery timings are shown at checkout.

What makes it special

Our unique float frames use wood mouldings manufactured in Italy and assembled by hand in our studio in London, UK. The deckled edge print is then float mounted and presented in the frame to create the effect.
