We have published more than 2,100 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, more than 400 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.
Here are the details of maps for South Ealing:
We have published two versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. Each covers the same area. Coverage stretches from Elthorne Park eastward to Cedar Grove, and from Rathgar Avenue southward to Darwin Road. In 1894 this was still a largely rural area, and major features are St Mary's church, a stretch of the District line with Boston Road and South Ealing stations, a small stretch of Grand Junction Canal with Osterley Lock; Little Ealing, with Ealing Park convent, Ealing Cemetery, and the beginning of building nearby; Lammas Park and village area around St Mary's church. By 1934 most of the map had been built up. Selected directory extracts are included on both maps.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with Sheets 56 Ealing to the north, 69 Hanwell to the west, 71 South Acton to the east and 83 Brentford to the south.
