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 Romford (E):
This detailed map covers an area east of Romford. Coverage stretches from George Street and King Edward Road (just east of central Romford) eastward to Butts Green Road; the tip of Hornchurch, including North Street and Billet Lane, is in the SE corner. The MR/LTS Romford Branch is shown, and Emerson Park & Great Nelmes Halt; Emerson Park is beginning to be developed. Heath Park is in the top centre of the map; this estate was being developed by 1908. Nearby is the southern part of Squirrels Hatch, with Manor House. A directory of Hornchurch is on the back, together with Tony Clifford's introduction. In the SW corner is the Roneo Works, which made duplicators, ink and also field kitchens for the war effort.
The map links up with Essex Sheet 79.10 Romford to the west, 79.15 Hornchurch to the south.
