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 Hanwell (S):
We have published just the one version of this map so far. The map covers the souther portion of Hanwell, around St Mark's church, which is in the NE corner. The map then extends south and west to include the village of Norwood Green, around St Mary's church, in the SW corner. The GWR Brentford branch, Windmill Lane, and the Grand Junction Canal run through the map. The principal feature is the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, opened in 1831, while part of the map is taken up with the northern part of Osterley Park. Extracts from an old directory on the reverse.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 55 Hanwell Village to the north, 70 South Ealing to the east, and Middlesex Sheets 15.14 Southall Green to the west, 20.03 Osterley Park to the south.
