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, go to The Index Page.
Here are the details of maps for Wanstead:
We have published two versions of this map, so that you can see how the area developed across the years. Each covers the same area, stretching from Mornington Road and Whipps Cross Road eastward to the River Roding and Wanstead Lane; from the southern tip of Snaresbrook station southward to Leybourne Road and part of Wanstead Park. Features include St Mary's church, the site of Wanstead House, Bush Wood, Christ Church, George Green. Streets include Blake Hall Road, George Lane, Warren Road, New Wanstead, Cambridge Park, High Street, Spratt Hall Road, etc. There are extracts from a street directory on the 1915 map. The 1894 map has the list of private residents in Wanstead from Kelly's Directory for 1895.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with Sheets 16 Snaresbrook to the north, 23 Leytonstone to the west, and 33 Wanstead Flats to the south.
