Abstract
Map sheet images for the Ordnance Survey Old Series / First Series England and Wales 1:63360, georeferenced and cropped at the neatlike (can be viewed together as a seamless composite). Geotiff format.
The original (ungeoreferenced) sheet images can be found at: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ordnance_Survey_Old/First_series_England_and_Wales_1:63360_(full_sheets).
The sheets were georeferenced by relating the sheet corners to their coordinates (no internal control points applied), using sheet boundary data created by the Charles Close Society (see https://www.charlesclosesociety.org/KMLFILE).
Where sheets were issued as quarter sheets (NW, NE, SW, SE), a digital composite of the full sheet has been created.
The filenames include the sheet number. See an index map at: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ordnance_Survey_Old/First_series_England_and_Wales_1:63360_(full_sheets)#/media/File:Ordnance_Survey_One-inch_Old_Series_England_&_Wales_Index.png
The imagery is medium resolution.
