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 North Finchley:
We have published two versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. Each covers the same area, from the Dollis Brook on the west eastward to Friary Park in Friern Barnet, and from Christ Church Avenue northward to Woodside Lane. The Great North Road runs north-south through the centre of the map and the main interest is the busy development around it. The GNR (later Northern line) High Barnet branch is also shown, with Woodside Park station. Features include St James church, Christ Church, Dunger Place, Woodside Grange, and several farms. By 1911 the area is more completely urban, with several tramways and a tram depot off Ballards Lane. There are several directory extracts, those on the 1911 map including Derby Avenue, Friern Park, Gainsborough Road, High Road, Holden Road, Hutton Grove and Woodhouse Road.
An index to this area may be posted here later. The map links up with Middlesex Sheets 6.12 Whetstone to the north, 6.15 Mill Hill Village to the west, 7.13 Friern Barnet to the east and London Sheet 5 Mid Finchley to the south.
