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 Dagenham:
This detailed map covers the village of Dagenham, where development was at an early stage. The LTS railway runs west-east across the map, with Dagenham (later Dagenham East) station, crossed by Romford Road / Bull Street running north-south. Features include St Peter & St Paul's church, Ford's School, Romford UDC sewage farm, Bretons (at the eastern edge of the map). The beginnings of industry is shown by Sterling Telephone Works on the land of Wantz Farm. The map is very interestingg as showing the area just before large-scale development. On the back we include a railway timetable for the LTS line in 1929.
The map links up with Essex Sheet 79.14 Rush Green to the north, 87.01 Parsloes to the west.
