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 Burnt Oak (W):
This map covers the western half of Burnt Oak, including the stretch of the Edgware Road or Watling Street between Red Hill and Edgware Bridge; here we find Hendon Workhouse, Burntoak Farm and a few others buildings. This group is at the east side of the map, which extends westward to Honeypot Lane, north to St Lawrence's church and Whitchurch Lane. It is all very rural, but on the reverse we include a large extract from the 1935 Revision, showing the Burnt Oak area almost entirely built up. Features on this include the De Havilland Aircraft Works, Redhill County Hospital, while the Workhouse has become Redhill Institution; many streets have been laid out and built upon west of the Edgware Road. A fascinating contrast.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with Middlesex Sheets 6.13 Edgware to the north and 11.02 Burnt Oak & Hendon Aerodrome to the east.
