Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Hampshire

In 1851 Bournmouth had a population of just 695 but over the next few decades it rose to become one of England's greatest seaside resorts, and by 1911, with a population of 78,764, it was second only to Brighton. We have published a group of 3 maps for the town and these link up with each other. Bournemouth is now in Dorset but at the time of this map it was firmly in Hampshire, and so forms part of our Hampshire series. Here is information about the 3 maps:

The North Bournmouth map covers the northern part of the town, with coverage stretching from Braidley Road eastward to Knole Road and St Clements church, and from Iddesleigh Road and the cemetery southward to Christchurch Road and Old Christchurch Road. The Central station is near the centre of the map. Features include Dean Park, St Augustin's church, Wimborne Road, Richmond Gardens, Town Hall (bottom left corner), Madeira Vale, Hotel Metropole, Municipal College, Lansdowne Road, Holdenhurst Road, engine shed and turntable, St Paul's church, tramways and tram depot, Knyveton Gardens, and innumerable villas.

The Boscombe map continues coverage west through Boscombe, Pokesdown and Freemantle. The Christchurch Road runs through the centre of the map and coverage extends from Drummond Road eastward to Beaufort Road and Grand Avenue. Features include Boscombe and Pokesdown stations, Kings Park, cemetery, St John's church, Palmerston Road, Boscombe Chine Gardens (bottom left), Hotel Burlington, Groveley Manor, Wentworth Lodge, Seabourne Road, tramways and depot, Convent, isolation hospital, A list of private residents for Boscombe is included on the reverse.

The Central Bournemouth map completes the trio. Here we include two maps, one under the other, to show 3 miles of the Bournemouth coastline from the Winter Gardens eastward to Fisherman's Walk. The maps, Sheets 86.13 and 86.14, link up with the North Bournemouth and Boscombe maps above.
