Old Ordnance Survey Maps

A selection of highly detailed "Old Ordnance Survey Maps", taken from the 1/2500 plans and reprinted at approximately 14" to the mile.

We are frequently asked what the maps actually show-if a particular village or street-sometimes-even an individual house! We have been asked to supply the map with the customers house exactly in the centre! Seldom are large scale maps available showing villages - they simply would not be viable . With the best will in the world we cannot answer all these questions or assist in your particular research. But it really is amazing the detail this series of maps show - bearing in mind the low cover price. We will always try and help where possible, but do bear the above points in mind when enquiring.

Belvedere 1895
This highly detailed map is double-sided to give maximum coverage. The main map covers an area from West Heath Road and Lessness Abbey eastward to Belvedere Park and Fox House Road, and southward to Erith Cemetery. Features include Abbey Wood (the actual wood, that is), West Heath, Lessness Heath, All Saints church, Royal Alfred Institution. The original name for the area was Lessness Heath, the name Belvedere being adopted in 1858. Though quite a busy map, it still retains a semi-rural air, with the many Victorian houses surrounded by woodland and fields. On the reverse we include half of Sheet 2.11, extending coverage westward to Bostall Heath, Bostall Wood, Shornell's Wood and Plumstead Cemetery
