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 Brixton:
We have published two versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area, stretching from Branksome Road and Strathleven Road eastward to Beckwith Road, and from Pulross Road and Brixton station southward to Brixton prison. The left half of the map comprises Brixton, with Brixton Hill running north-south through the map. Further east is Herne Hill, and Herne Hill itself runs northward through the map, lined with villas, many in grounds. Also crossing the map are railways, with Herne Hill station near the foot. Other features include Helix Gardens, Effra Road, Atlantic Road, Mayall Road, Railton Road, Coldharbour Lane, Loughborough Park, St Matthew's church, Brixton Hall, Lambeth Water Works, beer bottling works, Lowden Road, Brockwell Hall, north part of Brockwell Park, St Jude's church, Casino House, Loughborough Park station.
