Crafted with precision, our maps are printed using the giclée technique on archival-grade paper or artist's cotton canvas, ensuring they remain vibrant and durable over time. Choose from a variety of framing options, including sleek acrylite glazing or an elegant FSC-certified wood frame. For the ultimate in luxury, opt for a "float framed" stretched canvas to make a lasting impression.

These maps are based on original Ordnance Survey maps, dating from the 1870s to the 1960s. The OS maps were originally created to provide a detailed geographical record, showcasing the art and precision of Victorian-era cartography. They are renowned for their detailed illustrations and aesthetic appeal, offering a captivating exploration of Hartlepool's past, preserved for generations to appreciate.

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 Hartlepool, 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.
