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 Dagenham (N):
This detailed map covers the northern part of Dagenham, stretching from Frizlands Lane and the east end of Becontree Heath, eastward to the River Rom; and from Rush Green Road southward to Eastbrookend Farm. The area was entirely rural in 1915 and the only notable features are a few farms, some houses at the end of Becontree (Beacontree) Heath, Ilford Park cemetery (now Eastbrookend cemetery) and Romford Isolation Hospital. All rather different today!
The map links up with Essex Sheet 79.10 Romford to the north, 79.13 Becontree Heath to the west, 79.15 Hornchurch to the east and 87.02 Dagenham to the south.
