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 New Barnet:
"The focus of this map is New Barnet, a classic example of a suburb developing around a railway station" says Pamela Taylor in her introduction. New Barnet station was built on part of the Lyonsdown estate, the rest of which was then resold to the British Land Co for development. Our map captures the suburb that was the result, streets spreading out from the GNR railway and its station. Coverage extends south to the smaller East Barnet community, and west to Barnet Vale and to High Barnet terminus (then still a GNR branch). Other features include Underhill, Greenhill Park, Willenhall Park.
The map links up with Middlesex Sheets 6.04 Monken Hadley to the north, 6.6.07 Barnet Common to the west, 7.09 East Barnet to the east and 6.12 Whetstone to the south.
