Ordnance Survey
This is a Government department founded in 1791.
Mapping commenced in the south-east of England to support military
purposes - at that time the threat of French invasion. An exercise
to map the whole of England was started in the 19th century and maps of
6 inches to a mile and 25 inches to a mile were produced. The
country was divided into a grid with sheet numbers corresponding to the
6" to 1 mile scale maps. Each 6" to 1 mile scale map was then divided
into sixteen maps at a scale of 25" to 1 mile.
New Malton can be found on sheet 124 of
the larger scale map series. The centre of the town can be found
on sheet 124.6. The latter map shows individual plots/properties
and is available for 1890, 1910 and 1927 - these are approximate years
and not necessarily the year of the survey.
These maps have been digitised by the East Riding of Yorkshire Archive
Service and can be viewed
here. This latter edition can also be purchased from
Alan Godfrey
Maps at a modest price.
Most of the town guides contain a street map.
