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 Mid Finchley:
At present we have published just the one map for this area of London. The map covers an area of a mile by a mile and a half, stretching from Finchley station on the west side of the map, eastward beyond the Great North Road to Islington and St Pancras cemeteries. The other principal roads on the map are Ballards Lane, Station Road, Lichfield Road, Long Lane and Squires Lane. Other features on what was still a partly rural map include Claigmar Vineyard, Fallow Corner, and the northern tip of East Finchley. The map includes street directory extracts for most of the streets then on the map.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with Middlesex Sheets 6.16 North Finchley to the north and 11.03 Finchley & Holders Hill to the west; and with London Sheets 6 Alexandra Park to the east and 10 East Finchley to the south.
