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 Hanworth Park:
We have published just the one version of this map. This catches the area at the peak of its fame, when the London Air Park was thriving. This airport was twice visited by the Graf Zeppelin, and survived until 1947, by which time it was too close to the expanding Heathrow. The map includes the Air Park, and the area east towards New Hanworth, and north towards the SR Windsor line, of which just a small section is shown. The map is crossed diagonally by Hampton Road, becoming Uxbridge Road, and other roads include Hounslow Road, Waverley Avenue, Twickenham Road. Other features include farms and nurseries, while the River Crane meanders through the map. There is a directory of Hanworth on the back, together with a very informative history of the area by Tony Painter.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with Middlesex Sheet 20.10 Feltham to the west and London Sheet 121 West Twickenham to the east.
