Maps from the 1670s to the beginnings of the Ordnance Survey series, have been published by the Nottingham Civic Society, and are available through the county library services. Similarly, maps for a wider area around Nottingham are also available in recent publications, including John Chapman (1774) and Sanderson (1835).
Large scale OS maps (at scales of 1:2500 and 1:500) from the late 19th and early 20th centuries show the town in great detail, and some have been reprinted by Alan Godfrey Maps in recent years and are available in local libraries and in bookshops:
- Alan Godfrey Maps, Old Ordnance Survey maps: Central Nottingham 1899 (1997)
- Alan Godfrey Maps, Old Ordnance Survey maps: Nottingham (South) 1899 (1997)
- Alan Godfrey Maps, Old Ordnance Survey maps: Nottingham (North) 1913 (2003)
Manuscript
One of the best sources of cartographical evidence are contained in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century large scale Goad insurance maps available in the Nottinghamshire Archives Office.
