The maps each cover the same area, stretching from Hackney Cut Navigation and the River Lea eastward to Romford Road and Carnarvon Road; from Temple Mills Lane and Chandos Road southward to Lett Road and Langthorne Street. The map has a lot of railway information, including Stratford, Maryland and Stratford Market stations, and the GER Railway Works, sidings and loops north of the station; an essential map for students of the Great Eastern Railway. The town is also shown in detail, the 1867 version especially attractive. Other features include tramways, Stratford New Town, Stratford Marsh, Broadway, Waterworks River, Town Hall. Much more building by 1914 when roads include High Street, The Grove, Leytonstone Road, Vicarage Lane, and countless more. Each map also has short extracts from contemporary directories. An area that is likely to change greatly over the next few years.
