Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Barnet Common


We have published more than 1,800 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 Barnet Common & Arkley:

  • Middlesex Sheet 6.07 Barnet Common 1896 - published 1991; introduction by Pamela Taylor

    This double-sided map covers the southern part of Chipping Barnet. A small portion of the High Street is in the NE corner of the main map and coverage includes Barnet Workhouse, Bells Hill and the southern fringe of the village. Cover then extends southward beyond Ducks Island to Dollis Brook, and westward along May's Lane to Totteridgevale Farm and Whitings Hill. Much of this area is referred to as Barnet Common. On the reverse we include half of Sheet 6.06 and this extends coverage westward to the village of Arkley, including St Peter's church, Arkley Hall and Rowley Green; then further west to Barnet Gate and Hyver Hall.

    An index map will be added on this page at a later stage. The map links up with Middlesex Sheets 6.03 Barnet & Hadley to the north, 6.08 New Barnet to the east, and Sheets 6.10 Highwood Hill and 6.11 Totteridge to the south.
