Description
This set includes five enlarged and digitally enhanced reproductions of historical maps of London from 1805 to 1946.
The set has four maps all created from original Ordnance Survey sheets showing Central London and outer suburbs from four periods. The set also includes one map that was created from original Stanford’s Library Atlas sheets showing Central London in 1891 at street-level. The maps include contemporary illustrations and historical notes.
The maps span 150 years of London’s rich history from 1805 to 1946. They reveal how the capital engulfed surrounding villages to become, for much of this period, the largest city in the world.
Each 1:50,000 map explores a crucial period in London’s recent history: the late Georgian (1805-22), the late Victorian railway era (1897-8), the dawn of the motoring age (1919-20) and the period of reconstruction following the Second World War (1945-6). Cartographical and historical notes provide background information. A more in-depth view of late-Victorian central London is provided by the Street Map.
Each of the four 1:50,000 maps covers an identical area. The Street Map covers an area that extends from Hyde Park to the Isle of Dogs and from Highbury Fields to Brixton.
