This old, full colour and wonderful map shows the county of Sussex as it was in 1829, before it was split up into West, East and Mid Sussex. Published in Greenwood's Atlas of England & Wales and engraved by J & C Walker, this is one of the finest old county maps from the 1800s.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 70 inches wide (175cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
Many of the towns, villages and cities in Sussex are already visible in this map. Chichester - the capital of West Sussex today - was still the capital of Sussex back then. There's a lovely and highly detailed engraving of Chichester Cathedral in the bottom right corner.
Some of the West Sussex, Mid Sussex and East Sussex towns, villages and places clearly visible in this old map include: Worthing, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton (then just called Hampton), Horsham, Cuckfield (Haywards Heath), East Grinstead, Crawley, Hastings, Brighton, Hove, Bexhill, Cuckmere Haven, Seaford, Crowborough, Uckfield, Lewes, Arundel, Petworth, Amberley, Lewes, Ditchling, Ashdown Forest, Worth, Ardingly, Rye, Shoreham and many more.
Take a look at the detailed images and try to spot your hometown!
Somewhat unusually, this map also includes polling locations for county elections, parishes, churches, windmills, watermills, railways and much more.
This would make a wonderful gift for someone from Sussex or who has Sussex in their heart.
You can order the map itself, or you can order a framed version. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that really makes our maps pop out when on a wall. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame. We use super-clear perspex in our frames - it's less reflective than glass and better for transport.
