We have published more than 1,800 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, some 30 of them in the Essex 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 Tilbury:
This detailed map covers a fascinating area of the Thames, showing Tilbury Riverside on the north, and Gravesend's waterfront to the south. The map does not include Tilbury Town, but shows the (now closed) Riverside station, Tilbury Hotel, several railway junctions and lines into the docks. Also shown are the Tidal Basin, Worlds End pub, Tilbury Market. Tilbury Fort is shown, but sadly left blank for security reasons. On the Kent side we have West Street, the LCDR pier, Clifton Baths, Town Pier and Royal Terrace Pier. The map also includes directories for West Tilbury and Chadwell St Mary. Though the map does have a lot of water, mud and marshland it is a fascinating portrait of this Thames gateway, a reminder of Tilbury's days as a major passenger embarkation point, if only for a daytrip to Gravesend.
To the south the map links up with (and slightly overlaps) Kent Sheet 10.07 Gravesend.

Maps in the Godfrey Edition are taken from the 25 inch to the mile map and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. For a full list of maps for East Anglia, return to the East Anglia page.
