We have published more than 2,000 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 Kew & Gunnersbury:
We have published just the one version of this map so far. The map covers several disparate and contrasting areas. The NW quarter covers Old Brentford, including the High Street (as far west as Smith Hill and the Royal Hotel), with malthouses, a brewery, wharves and the Brentford Ait island. East of this is Kew Bridge, the Star & Garter Hotel, Kew Bridge station, Brentford Market. In the NE quarter of the map is Gunnersbury, with Gunnersbury station, High Road, Wellesley Road, leading to part of Turnham Green at the edge of the map. Further south, on the Thames, is Strand on the Green, with boat houses and malthouses, and the map extends SE to the northern part of Grove Park, including Grove House and Chiswick & Grove Park station. Finally, on the Surrey side of the river is Kew, including Kew Green, St Anne's church, Kew Palace, and much of the Botanic Gardens, as far south as the Palm House. A varied map essential for many local historians, and with its wharves, tramways and railway junctions equally fascinating to transport historians. There are directories for Gloucester Rd, Kew Green, Mortlake Rd and Richmond Rd 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 71 South Acton to the north, 83 Brentford to the west, 85 Chiswick to the east, and 97 North Sheen to the south.
