Personalised Old Map of Halifax

Unveil the captivating history of Halifax with our bespoke old map centred on your chosen spot. Perfect for history enthusiasts, personalisation aficionados, or as a thoughtful gift, this map brings Halifax's rich heritage to life, offering a unique glimpse into how the town has evolved over the decades. Whether you're a resident cherishing the past, or gifting someone a piece of history, this map connects personal stories with the charm of Halifax’s bygone era.

Explore historical landmarks that the map encompasses, like the iconic Piece Hall, the traditional Halifax Minster, and the charming streets of the Shibden Hall area. Delve into the past with sights around the Bankfield Museum and the historic Wainhouse Tower. These spots, now iconic, may have been in their infancy, or not yet imagined, at the time your selected map was drawn, providing a fascinating insight into the development of Halifax.

Our Halifax maps are entirely personalisable. You can place the centre of the map on your home or on a landmark that holds special meaning. Mark significant locations with symbols or notes, and weave your personal narrative through a dedication message. The title and subtitle can be tailored to reflect an inside joke or cherished memory, making this map truly one-of-a-kind and uniquely yours.

Crafted with precision, our maps are printed using the giclée technique on archival-grade paper or artist's cotton canvas, ensuring their longevity and aesthetic brilliance. Choose from a range of framing options, including premium acrylite glazing with an FSC-certified wooden frame, or opt for a "float framed" stretched canvas to suit your home’s décor and personal style.

Your personalised Halifax map is crafted from original Ordnance Survey maps, with roots tracing back to the 1870s. These maps are celebrated for their artistic beauty and meticulous detail, initially created for precise geographical documentation across the United Kingdom. We utilise the 6-inch and 1:10,000 OS map series, renowned for their intricate depiction of the landscape and features of the Victorian era, offering a window into Halifax's storied past.

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 Halifax, 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.
