This large scale Plan of York was surveyed between 1849 and 1851 by Captain Tucker R.E. for the Ordnance map Office.


The Plan was published in 21 separate sheets in September and October 1852.


Each sheet was sold for 2 shillings.
The Plan is drawn at a scale of five feet to one statute mile (1:1056).


It is highly detailed showing, for instance, the layout of the pews in each church.


The online version has been produced from a high resolution scan of a copy held in the York City Archives.


This online version of the 1852 Plan has been produced through a collaboration between Beacon Dodsworth and the City of York Council.
