Description: Banbury 1881: Oxfordshire Sheet 6.09
We have published two maps for Banbury, showing how the town changed across the years. The 1881 version is double-sided for maximum coverage.

In Grimsbury features include St Leonard's church, Middleton Road, Causeway, West Street, Railway Terrace.

It includes an essay on the history of the area by Barrie Trinder.
The large scale plans of the Ordnance Survey are quite unique. In a clear and attractive manner they have portrayed our towns and villages in detail over the last 150 years. They show not just the streets but virtually every house; the complete track layouts of railways and tramways are given; factories, mills and docks are all shown. The maps contain all the fascinating minutiae that is the lifeblood of history and have become the most complete record of the places where our ancestors lived and worked.
The Godfrey Edition is a major undertaking to reprint these maps, in a convenient and affordable form, for towns throughout Britain and Ireland.
