Discover Belper as it appeared in 1880 with this beautifully detailed reproduction of a historic Ordnance Survey map, presented in an impressive A1 format (594 × 841 mm).
Capturing a section of the town during the Victorian era, this fascinating map reveals a mixture of closely grouped buildings, streets, individual properties and open spaces, offering an intriguing glimpse into Belper's appearance towards the end of the 19th century.
One of the map's most striking features is the prominent central route, with buildings and plots arranged along either side. The surrounding streets reveal rows of houses, larger individual buildings, enclosed grounds and a network of smaller lanes and passages. Particularly interesting are the clearly defined property boundaries and the contrast between the more densely developed streets and the extensive open plots nearby.
For anyone familiar with Belper today, this historic map provides a wonderful opportunity to examine the town's Victorian street layout, identify recognisable locations and compare the arrangement of buildings and properties with the modern landscape.
With its intricate cartographic detail, traditional Ordnance Survey lettering and distinctive period appearance, this large-format map makes an attractive addition to any home, office or study.
