Sussex : 1:10,560 (Six-inches to one mile). First Edition : 1869-75.

The early engraved six-inch sheets are generally considered the finest maps the Ordnance Survey ever issued. The crisp black detail was later lost when other production methods were introduced.

The maps listed below are full sheets, with a mapped area of 24” by 36”. Publication dates are given for each sheet, with many bearing a blind stamp, dated only a few years after publication. Hence, these are very early printings of each sheet.

The early states showed only the named county, with the area of adjoining counties being blank. In the entries, if a sheet covers more than one county, the size of printed area (Hampshire) is noted, e.g. 1/3 full (of mapped detail).

Maps have previously been bound into an atlas, and therefore have a single vertical fold in the middle.

All maps are in very nice condition, possibly ever so slightly dusty.

Some have a small amount of water damage, mainly in the form of very light brown staining on the top and lower margins. This does not encroach upon the mapped area.

Postage in a tube will usually be about £3.
