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 East Bedfont:
This detailed map is centred on a stretch of the Staines Road, which runs west-east through the map, from Bedfont Lodge eastward to North Feltham. New Bedfont is at the top of the map, Southville at the bottom. See this index map for the area covered. Other streets include Tachbrook Road, Fruen Road, Hatton Road, New Road, Harlington Road West. The NW sector of the map shows an area now covered by the southern edge of Heathrow Airport. At first this may seem an unexciting suburban area, but Tony Painter's essay shows how much history it has. The Duke of Northumberland's River runs across the map. On the reverse we include a Six-inch to the Mile map showing New Bedfont, Feltham and Hounslow Heath in 1894.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with Middlesex Sheets 20.13 Feltham to the south.
