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 Lewisham:
The two versions of this map show how the area developed across the years, becoming more built up. The maps each cover the same area, stretching from Algernon Road and Ladywell station eastward to Lee Road and Burnt Ash Road; from Lewisham Bridge and Belmont Hill southward to Hither Green station. The map therefore really covers the centre and south of Lewisham town (not the station) and much of Lee. Features include Ladywell, High Street, High Road, Lee Green, Lewisham Park, workhouse. Churches include St Stephen's Lewisham, St Mark's, St Swithun's, The Good Shepherd Handen Road, Holy Trinity Lee, Christ Church Lee. Streets include Lee Park, Wantage Road, Blessington Road, Brookbank Road, Hither Green Lane and many more. Both maps include extracts from contemporary street directories.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with Sheets 105 Blackheath to the north, 118 Brockley to the west, 120 Eltham to the east and 129 Catford to the south.
