Bring a beautiful slice of North East heritage to your walls with this Durham map (dated 1775) — a richly detailed antique reproduction that captures the county in the Georgian era of coaching roads, market towns, and powerful ecclesiastical history. This is County Palatine Durham on paper: you can trace the River Wear as it loops around the cathedral city, follow old routes between Durham, Darlington, Bishop Auckland and Barnard Castle, and spot familiar places long before modern boundaries simplified the story.
With its crisp cartographic linework and classic old-atlas typography, it’s the kind of map you can happily get lost in — perfect for anyone with roots in Durham, a love of local history, or a connection to the wider North East. A timeless statement for a study, hallway, office, library, or gallery wall, and a thoughtful gift for Durham locals (and leavers who miss home).
This is an edited reproduction of an antique map, created using antique and public domain source imagery.
