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.
Here are the details of maps for New Cross:
The three versions of this map show how the area developed across the years, becoming more built up. The maps each cover the same area (despite varying titles) stretching from Pomery St and Nunhead Junction eastward to Deptford Bridge; from Deptford station southward to Penmartin Road. Features include New Cross, New Cross Gate, Brockley Lane, St John's, Deptford and Nunhead stations; New Cross railway works; Aske's Hatcham schools; tramways; Deptford Brewery; Goldsmiths College; Royal Naval School; Hatcham Works. Churches include St James New Cross, St Mary Magdalene, St John's Lewisham Rd, St Peter's Wickham Rd. Roads on the 1871 map include part of Deptford High Street, New Cross Rd, Lewisham High Rd, Queens Rd, Wickham Rd. Many other roads appear on the later maps as they are built.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with Sheets 91 Deptford North to the north, 103 Peckham to the west, 105 Blackheath to the east and 118 Brockley to the south.
