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. Or visit The Index Page for a full list to the series and details of Prices.
Here are the details of maps for Bexley:
This early and highly detailed OS map covers the area from Bridgen and Hurst eastward to the village of Bexley. The Dartford Loop railway crosses the map west-east, including Bexley station. Other features on this attractive map include Vale Mascal, River Cray, Manor House, St Mary's church, Bexley Park Wood, Applepie Corner, Building Fields, Spring Place, Bourne House, water mill, Kent Brewery. With the river meandering past leafy banks the map appears to portray an idyllic rural scene.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent Kent maps is available here. The map links up with Kent Sheets 8.04 Bexley Heath to the north, 8.07 Lamorbey to the west, 8.12 North Cray to the south.
