Our maps are ideal for family and local historians, students, walkers, homeowners – in short, for anyone who has interest in the history of their area and wishes to trace the changes that it has undergone since the Industrial Revolution.
Cassini Historical Maps are created from Ordnance Survey’s definitive mapping series, surveyed and printed from the early 19th century onwards, we’ve enhanced and enlarged them to bring them into line with modern scales and print standards.
Digitally enhanced, enlarged, exactly matching present-day Ordnance Survey's Landranger® maps and immaculately printed, there has never been a better way of discovering the landscape of the past.

“The most useful thing about Cassini’s Mapmaker service is that you can see images of the historical maps before you buy them,” says Alf Wilkinson, Historical Association Education Officer.  "Absolutely ideal for local studies. You can choose the best map for the task you have in mind! I was impressed by how sophisticated it is yet simple to use.”

"In some cases, you will find yourself asking questions that even the standard histories do not answer.  So, before consulting those published histories, look at the maps! "

"We find these historical maps fascinating. Especially when you have them side-by-side with the modern map. Even my grandchildren are interested and we have spent ages crawling around on the floor comparing the past and present of places where they live."
Mrs Janet Daley,
Somerset
