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 Hendon:
We have published two versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area, stretching from The Burroughs eastward to Finchley Road, and from Waverley Grove and Fitzalan Road southward to Leeside Crescent and Temple Fortune. On the 1912 map part of Hampstead Garden Suburb is in the SE corner of the map. Other features include tramways along Finchley Road, Council Offices on The Burroughs, Christ Church, St Mary's church, Decoy Farm, Carmelite Convent, Finchley Bridge. Perhaps unusually for London, no railways are shown. Each map includes street directory extracts. The two introductions by Pamela Taylor - then archivist for Barnet and my assistant editor - are excellent concise essays on the history of Hendon.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with Middlesex Sheets 11.03 Finchley & Holders Hill to the north, and 11.06 Kingsbury Green to the west; and with London Sheets 10 East Finchley to the east and 17 Golders Green to the south.
