We have published more than 2,000 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 Norbury:
We have published just the one map for this area. It covers an area stretching from London Road and Norbury station eastward to Spa Hill at Upper Norwood; and from Gibsons Hill southward to Beulah Road North and the tip of Thornton Heath. It covers an area in the relatively early stages of development; a major feature is the Beulah Brick Works. Other features include the Beulah Spa with chalybeate spring, villas on Beulah Hill, Hermitage Sports Grounds, Norbury Hall. There are extracts from Croydon and Norwood directories that include Beulah Hill, Moffat Road, Osborne Road, Spa Hill and Spa Road.
