Explore early Cheshire maps from the collection held at Cheshire Record Office. These maps give a fascinating insight into the history of a locality and are invaluable for local history and family history. Using the maps you can see how place names have changed and how the farms, hamlets, villages and towns of Cheshire, as well as its roads and canals, have developed over time.
