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. Or visit The Index Page for a full list to the series and details of Prices.
Here are the details of maps for Thornton Heath:
The two maps listed here are from different series, for London and Surrey, and so the sheetlines are somewhat different.
The London series map covers an area from Pollards Hill North at Norbury eastward to Whitehorse Road and Decimus Burton Road at Thornton Heath; and from Beulah Crescent southward to Holmesdale Road and Brigstock Road. Features include Thornton Heath station, New Thornton Heath, and a long stretch of London Road through Norbury; streets at Thornton Heath include High Street, Bensham Manor Road, Beulah Road and others. There is a very good selection of street directory entries on the reverse.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent London maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheet 144 Norbury to the north and Surrey Sheet 14.05 Mitcham Road to the south.
The Surrey sheet 14.02 is centred somewhat further east, although it does overlap considerably with the London map. This later map is more built up, and covers an area from Bridport Road and Beverstone Road eastward to South Norwood Hill and Whitworth Road; and from Beulah Crescent southward to Ecclesbourne Road and Dagnall Park. It therefore covers most of Thornton Heath and part of South Norwood. Features include tramways, Grangewood, Thornton Heath station (enlarged since the earlier map), Falkland Park, Ross Road, Whitehorse Road etc. This map too includes good street directory extracts, listing many of the occupants. It links up with Surrey Sheet 14.06 West Croydon to the south.
