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.
Here are the details of maps for Upper Sydenham:
We have published two versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area, from Clive Road eastward to Kirkdale, and from Crescent Wood Road southward to Crystal Palace High Level station. Features include Gipsy Hill, Sydenham Hill and Upper Sydenham stations, West Hill, Alleyn Park, Kingswood House, Westwood House, High Street, Charleville Circus. The 1894 map also includes part of Crystal Palace Park, incl The Maze. However, the 1914 map has the area of Kent left blank so does not include the Park. For this reason, if you are only buying one version we strongly recommend the 1894 map.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 127 Dulwich to the north, 136 Lower Norwood to the west, 138 Lower Sydenham to the east, 145 Crystal Palace to the south.
