We have published more than 1,900 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 Peckham & Camberwell:
We have published three versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area, stretching from Denmark Hill station eastward to Queen's Road station and Asylum Road; and from Rosemary Road southward to Nunhead Green. Peckham Road and High Street runs west-east across the map, with tramway; further south the railways run across, with Peckham Rye station in the lower centre of the map. Other features of these very busy maps include Peckham House lunatic asylum, Camberwell Workhouse, Brunswick Square, Eagle Mill, Rye Lane, tramways and tram depot, railways incl engine sheds, St Giles church, Brunswick Square, Camberwell Town Hall, Surrey Canal with Peckham Wharf, north end of Peckham Rye Common. The following Wards are named on the map: Town Hall, St Giles, Lyndhurst, Goldsmith, Rye Lane, St Mary's and Nunhead Wards (though some extend onto adjacent maps). The map is largely part of Camberwell Borough. On the reverse are street directory extracts for (1871 map) Brunswick Square, Church Street, Camberwell Grove, Grove Lane, Southampton St etc; and (1894 map) Camberwell Grove, Grove Lane, High Street, Hill Street, Rye Lane. As usual in this series, the 1st Edition 1871 map is especially attractive.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 90 Old Kent Road to the north, 102 Camberwell to the west, 104 New Cross to the east, 117 East Dulwich to the south.
