Here are the details of maps for Belvedere & Lessness Heath:
We have published more than 2,400 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, some 500 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. Or visit The Index Page for a full list to the series and details of Prices.
Here are the details of maps for Belvedere & Lessness Heath:
This highly detailed map is double-sided to give maximum coverage. The main map covers an area from West Heath Road and Lessness Abbey eastward to Belvedere Park and Fox House Road, and southward to Erith Cemetery. Features include Abbey Wood (the actual wood, that is), West Heath, Lessness Heath, All Saints church, Royal Alfred Institution. The original name for the area was Lessness Heath, the name Belvedere being adopted in 1858. Though quite a busy map, it still retains a semi-rural air, with the many Victorian houses surrounded by woodland and fields. On the reverse we include half of Sheet 2.11, extending coverage westward to Bostall Heath, Bostall Wood, Shornell's Wood and Plumstead Cemetery; this links the map up with (and slightly overlaps) the Plumstead map and so the London series.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent Kent maps is available here. The map links up with Kent Sheets 3.09 Erith to the east and 2.16 Bexleyheath North to the south; also with London Sheet 95 Plumstead to the west.
