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 Merton:
We have published just the one version of this map. It covers an area around the former Merton Abbey and stretches from Morden Road eastward to London Road and Tooting Junction, from Collier's Wood southward to Upper Mitcham. Features include Holborn Union Workhouse, Holborn Industrial Schools, both at Upper Mitcham; Merton Abbey station with a siding to Abbey Mills, Morden station (on the Croydon & Wimbledon line), Nelson's Fields, several varnish factories by the River Wandle, High Street, Quicks Road, and the eastern fringe of South Wimbledon. Several extracts from Trim's Directory 1909 appear on the back.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 134 Tooting to the north, 141 South Wimbledon to the west, 143 Lower Streatham to the east.
