Our maps boast superior quality, printed using the finest giclée technique on archival-grade paper or artist's cotton canvas, ensuring their longevity and crisp visual clarity. Choose from an array of presentation options, including super clear acrylic frames or elegant FSC-certified wood frames. For a truly distinctive look, consider our "float framed" stretched canvas maps.

The map you receive is derived from original Ordnance Survey maps, dating as far back as the 1870s. These maps are known for their artistic charm and meticulous detail, originally created to provide precise geographical information for the entire United Kingdom. The 6-inch series from the 1890s is particularly notable, showcasing features from the Victorian era that hold historical significance even today. With the ability to explore Preston's past up until the 1960s, you can appreciate the town's evolution over time.

Please note you are purchasing a fully customised old map. Modern landmarks, such as your house, may not have been built yet! You can contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.

Generally, larger maps look much better than smaller maps, because you can enjoy all of the smaller details. If you need a smaller map, I would suggest ‘zooming in’ so that the map covers a smaller area.

Because these maps are custom made to order, we can make you a map that looks great at at any size, from very small (8x10in/20x25cm) all the way to a few metres. If you are looking for a very large map, please get in touch.

The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this map.

Every map can be personalised or customised, for example if you want to mark your house or street on the map. The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.

This personalised map would make a wonderful housewarming, birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, Mother’s Day, wedding anniversary or work leaving gift for someone from Preston, or someone who works there.

This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or on artist’s cotton canvas. Several frame choices are available for free, or custom framing is available for an additional fee. Please get in touch if you’re looking to order a very large map for a hotel or office, or if you’re looking for a size that isn’t available on my shop.
