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 Hounslow (W):
This map covers the western end of Hounslow, from Upton Road and Cromwell Street westward along the Bath Road and Staines Road, and northward up Workhouse Lane as far as Sutton Farm. Features on the map include St Paul's church, Wellington Road North, Beavers Lane and Beavers Farm, and part of Hounslow Heath. The main feature, however, is Hounslow Barracks, where the engineer Goldsworthy Gurney demonstrated his steam carriage to the Duke of Wellington. Cavalry barracks were established here, midway between London and Windsor, in 1793 and they were expanded in the 1870s. The Hounslow & Metropolitan Railway is shown, terminating at what was then called Hounslow Barracks station; this is now part of the Piccadilly line.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with Middlesex Sheets 20.02 Heston 1894 to the north, 20.07 Hounslow to the east.
