Old Ordnance Survey Maps of Tottenham


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 Tottenham:

  • London Sheet 13.2 Tottenham 1894 - published 1983; introduction by I G Murray
  • London Sheet 13.4 Tottenham 1936 - published 2005; introduction by Alan A Jackson

    We have published two versions of this map, showing how the area changed across the years. Both maps cover the same area. This covers the southern half of Tottenham, an area stretching from South Tottenham station northward to Bruce Grove station, and from Abbotsford Avenue eastward to the GER railway. Features include Seven Sisters station, West Green station, Tottenham Hale, Page Green, St Ann's, Tottenham brewery, tramways, The Green, General Hospital, Clyde Circus, Downhills Park, Tottenham High School, and the many streets either side of the High Road. The 1936 map shows several industrial sites at Tottenham Hale, including cabinet works, shoe factories and Basildon stationery works.

    An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 8 Tottenham North to the north, 12 Hornsey to the west, 14 Walthamstow West to the east, 21 Stamford Hill to the south.
