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 Muswell Hill:
We have published just the one version of this map so far. The principal emphasis of the map is the Muswell Hill area, a suburb that developed quite late and was still semi-rural in 1894. Features here include St James's church, Muswell Hill station, Mus Well, and a lot of good sized villas. However the map also extends to cover neighbouring areas: part of the Alexandra Palace in the NE corner; part of Crouch End in the SE; Imperial Park to the south, and beyond that Highgate Woods; a small section of Highgate in the SW corner, including the Museum of Sanitary Appliances; and Fortis Green, including All Saints church, to the west. Railway interest is covered with almost the whole of the GNR Alexandra Park branch. On the reverse are street directories for Fortis Green Rd, Muswell Hill, and Muswell Hill Rd.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 6 Alexandra Park to the north, 10 East Finchley to the east 12 Hornsey to the east and 19 Highgate to the south. to the south.
