We have published more than 2,100 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 Chiswick & Castelnau:
We have published three versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area, Chiswick House and Christ Church (on Turnham Green) eastward to Hammersmith Bridge; and from High Road and King Street southward. However, Please note that the 1935 map (as usual at that period) does not include the area south of the river, which is left blank.
Features on the maps include Chiswick House and gardens, Chiswick Cemetery, Chiswick New Town, Devonshire Road, Duke Road, Griffin Brewery, St Nicholas church, West Middlesex Water Works, Royal Horticultural Gardens, Church Wharf, St Peter's Square, The Creek. A portion of Hammersmith (south of King Street) is in the NE corner. The Thames runs through the map, including Chiswick Eyot. Castlenau and Lonsdale Road are in the SE quarter (except 1935 version). Part of Turnham Green is in the NW corner. A list of private residents in 1890 is included, split between the 1867 and 1893 maps. The 1935 map includes a contemporary street directory for Chiswick High Road, Chiswick Lane and Chiswick Mall.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 72 North Hammersmith to the north, 84 Kew to the west, 86 Hammersmith & Fulham to the east, 98 Barnes to the south.
