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 Eltham:
We have published two versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The actual London maps each cover much the same area, stretching from Leyland Road at Lewisham eastward to Eltham Green and a little beyond, and northward to Kidbrooke station. This is an area with several streets being developed on the west side of the map, where the map fringes Blackheath Park and Lewisham; also near St Peter's church on The Avenue. The area around Eltham Green is largely rural. However we have extended coverage of the 1894 version by including part of Kent Sheet 8.01 on the reverse. This takes coverage to the centre of Eltham village, with St John's church, Court Yard, Eltham Court and the remains of Eltham Palace, and also Well Hall station. Therefore, if you are buying only one of the maps I strongly advise the 1894 version.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 106 Kidbrooke to the north, 119 Lewisham to the west, and 130 Mottingham to the south.
