Scale:1:2500 The origins of the 1:2500 maps date back to 1840 when it had been decided to extend the 1:10,560 series mapping project to cover the whole of Great Britain. However, it soon became clear that more detailed maps were needed. After prolonged debate about the scale, format, and cost of the new surveys it was eventually agreed that the whole country would be surveyed at 1:2,500 except for areas of moorland and mountain where 1:10,560 was deemed sufficient. It was the first Ordnance Survey series to use a metric scale from the outset and is this the only one which has not bee necessary for Cassini to enlarge for it to match present-day mapping Return to selection page for all the details
