We have published more than 2,400 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, some 500 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 through selected stockists or on our On-line Mapshop. For other information and Prices, see Index Page.
Here are the details of maps for the City and Whitechapel:
We have published three versions of this map, showing how the area developed across the years. The maps each cover the same area, a major area of central London, covering much of The City and extending across Whitechapel, Bishopsgate and Spitalfields. The area covered runs from Moorgate eastward to Bedford Street, and fromWorship Street and Quaker Streetr southward to The Tower. The many features include The Bank of England, the northern part of The Tower; Broad Street, Liverpool Street, Moorgate, Fenchurch Street, Cannon Street, Bishopsgate stations; Royal Mint, Custom House, London Hospital, Aldgate; streets include Cornhill, Threadneedle Street, Finsbury Pavement, Whitechapel Street, Whitechapel Road, Commercial Road, Leman Street and countless more; many City churches and their parishes are shown, and also St George in the East, Christ Church Spitalfields. A mass of detail on all three maps, and fascinating to everyone interested in the history of London.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 51 Shoreditch to the north, 62 Holborn to the west, 64 Stepney to the east, 77 Bermondsey to the south.
