We have published more than 2,000 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, go to The Index Page
Here are the details of maps for Catford:
We have published two versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. It covers an area stretching from Rushey Green and Bromley Road eastward to St Mildred's Road and Hither Green Cemetery; from Davenport Road southward to Hazelbank Road. It covers the southern parts of Lewisham, eastern Catford, and the serried streets of Hither Green. There is a long stretch of the SE&C railway on the map but no stations. Features include Lewisham Town Hall, Ravensbourne Preserve Works, tramways, Hither Green Cemetery, Park Hospital. Churches include St Laurence Catford, St Andrew's Hither Green, St Mildred's. Streets on the 1914 map include Verdant Lane, Brownhill Road, Inchmery Road, Hither Green Lane and many more. On the 1894 version much of the area is still open countryside.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with Sheets 119 Lewisham to the north, 128 Forest Hill to the west, 130 Mottingham to the east and 170 Southend Village to the south.
