Ordnance Survey National Grid maps, 1944-1972

The most detailed Ordnance Survey maps after the Second World War.

Our online maps include all scales of mapping - 1:1,250, 1:2,500 and 1:10,560 for Scotland and London, and just 1:10,560 scale mapping for all other parts of England and Wales. We have just put online out-of-copyright maps, published over 50 years ago.

We are working towards putting online all our out-of-copyright 1:1,250 and 1:2,500 scale mapping for all other parts of England and Wales by the summer of 2024.
