Old Ordnance Survey Map titled ‘Stourbridge (South) & Oldswinford 1914’ published by Alan Godfrey Maps

This is a reproduction of an original Ordnance Survey map from 1914, covering the Stourbridge South and Oldswinford areas in Worcestershire, England. The Ordnance Survey was Britain’s national mapping agency, and these detailed large-scale maps were produced during the early 20th century to document urban and rural landscapes with remarkable precision. The 1914 edition captures the region just before World War I, showing streets, buildings, railways, and topographical features as they existed over a century ago.

These reproduced historical maps are highly valued by local historians, genealogists, urban planners, and collectors interested in British cartography and social history. They provide invaluable insights into how communities developed, showing vanished buildings, old street layouts, and industrial sites that have since disappeared. Map enthusiasts and those researching family history particularly appreciate these reproductions for understanding the historical context of specific locations and tracing the evolution of British towns and cities.
