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 East Finchley:
We have published two versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area, with the area known as East Finchley (formerly a hamlet called East End) on the east side of the map. This includes East Finchley station, parts of the Great North Road and Long Lane, and East End Road as far north as the Convent of the Good Shepherd and the Manor Cottage Tavern.
The 1894-1911 map is taken from the fascinating Special Edition, 'Partially revised in 1911 for Inland Revenue Purposes'. This uses the 1894 revision, but building since then to 1911 has been added; as later buildings are not hatchured it is easy to see how an area has developed over those years. If you have not seen one of these Special Editions, I can recommend them. This map also includes part of the new Hampstead Garden Suburb in the SW corner. Both maps have street directory extracts.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 5 Mid Finchley to the north, 11 Muswell Hill to the east, and 18 Kenwood to the south; and with Middlesex Sheet 11.07 Hendon to the west.
