Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Stamford Hill


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 Stamford Hill:

  • London Sheet 21.1 Stamford Hill 1868 - published 1985; introduction by David Pracy
  • London Sheet 21.2 Stamford Hill 1894 - published 1984; intro by Jon Newman
  • London Sheet 21.3 Stamford Hill 1913 - published 1990; intro by David Pracy

    We have published three versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area, stretching Lordship Road eastward to Springfield Park, and from St Ann's Road and Crowland Road southward to Manor Road and Windus Road. The maps therefore cover the southern part of South Tottenham, much of Stamford Hill, and also the Clapton Common area. Stamford Hill, leading to High Road, runs south-north through the centre of the map. Features include West and East Reservoirs, Amhurst Park, the Tyssen Amhurst Estate, the Craven Estate, the Springfield Estate, South Tottenham and Stamford Hill stations, Tee-To-Tum Club, tramways and depot, Springfield House. The River Lea is at the east side of the map. The three maps provide a vivid contrast as the area is developed.

    An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 13 Tottenham to the north, 20 Finsbury Park to the west, 22 Walthamstow Marshges to the east, 30 Stoke Newington to the south.
