Isle of Wight Historic Maps – Newport Before the Roundabout.
SHARE
Head to My Historic Map to view Ordinance survey maps from the glory days. You can explore and preview archives dating back to 1839 by inputing a location, chosing a scale and picking a year. Simply chose “Isle of Wight” to see all towns on the island.
In many cases you can choose between a “Street View” and a “House View”. The “House View” shows individual buildings and their shape. It’s not the slickest of web sites and there are lots of annoying pop-ups because, ultimately, they are trying to sell you a printed map for £35 – maybe a nice Christmas present for someone? The preview maps are quite small but you can zoom in and see some detail.
Check out Newport before the roundabout here.
