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
The three versions of this map show how the area developed across the years, becoming more built up. 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.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with 32 Leyton to the north, 41 Hackney to the west, Sheet 43 Forest Gate to the east and 53 Bow to the south.
