We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, some 300 of them in the London area. The maps are highly detailed. They are taken from the OS 1:2,500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. They show streets with individual houses, tram tracks, railway tracks and even signals, factories, wharves and such details as fountains and water troughs. They will provide hours of fascination for historians and genealogists. The maps are neatly folded and each includes a specially written introduction to the area. Maps can be purchased on our On-line Mapshop where further information about titles is given. For other information and Prices, see Index Page.
Here are the details of maps for Barnes & Mortlake:
We have published three versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area, stretching from Church Avenue at Mortlake eastward to Lower Common South on the outskirts of Putney; and from Madrid Road and part of Castelnau southward to Upper Richmond Road. The map therefore covers east Mortlake, including St Mary's church, part of the High St, Mortlake cemetery, the adjacent hospital, the malthouse, the RC church, and council offices; while the northern part of the map is largely Barnes, including Barnes Green, Barnes Common, Mill Hill, St Mary's church, St Michael & All Angel's church, High St, and Barn Elms Park; the small segment of Putney includes Putney cemetery. The railway, including Barnes station and Barnes Bridge, runs through the map.
The 1867 map includes a trade directory and list of private residents; the 1893 map has the Barnes commercial directory from Kelly's Surrey directory of 1903; the 1913 map has street directory extracts, including Archway Street, Castelnau, Church Road and Cleveland Gardens.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 85 Chiswick to the north, 97 North Sheen to the west, 99 Putney Bridge to the east, and 112 Roehampton to the south.
