West India Docks & Greenwich Marshes 1894 – 79.2

West India Docks and Greenwich Marshes in 1894 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. Three versions of this map have been published to show how the area developed across the years. The sheetlines are a little unkind to the Isle of Dogs, which is split between several sheets (78, 79, 91, 92) but this is perhaps the main map for that area. The three maps all cover the same area, stretching from Poplar Docks southward to the north part of Cubitt Town and including major parts of the two West India Docks, the South Dock and Millwall Inner Dock. Part of Millwall Outer Dock is at the extreme foot of the map. Blackwall with its shipbuilding yards is at the top of the map. Across the Thames are Greenwich Marshes, growing more developed over the years and today famous for the Dome. The 1894 map shows the area more developed. The Timber Dock on the earlier map is now the South Dock and the railway extends south through Isle of Dogs, the Millwall Extension, with Millwall Junction, South Dock, Millwall Dock stations and many sidings and depots. On Greenwich Marshes there is more development, now with Ordnance Wharf, gas works etc. Street directory extracts are on reverse, plus a railway timetable for the Fenchurch St to Blackwall and North Greenwich railway. About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25″ OS Series:Selected towns in Great Britain and Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th and early 20th century. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping and reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4,340). On the reverse most maps have historical notes and many also include extracts from contemporary directories. Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one and a half miles (2.4kms) across; adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION AND A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK.
