"Can someone remind me what the copyright period is on OS?
I have a feeling it is 75 years, but I may be wrong.

Adrian"

Just to correct any misunderstanding.

Although revised & reprinted in 1931 the  1/2" to Mile OS map I mentioned
was published in 1914 and therefore it is out of copyright. In addition it
states that it is a reduction of the 1" map of 1906-08

There must be some legal uncertainty over the copyright of current OS maps,
most of which were derived by photographic enlargement from the last 1"
series. The copyright should date from the publication of the original, as
in the case of a book etc.

So my offer of a scan (A4) of the Mineral Railways / Tramways shown would
pose no problems
