Pimlico, Sloane Square and Nine Elms in 1869 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 have been published for this area, stretching from Chelsea Royal Hospital eastward to Vauxhall Bridge, and from Sloane Square southward to Battersea Park; the eastern part of Chelsea, Pimlico, and a small part of Battersea. On the south side of the Thames a major feature is the Nine Elms area, including several wharves and the Nine Elms Goods Depot. North of the river major features include the railway approaches to Victoria (though the station is on the Westminster map), Sloane Square, Chelsea Barracks, Ranelagh Gardens, Lupus Street, Warwick Street, Chelsea Suspension Bridge, Vauxhall Bridge, Belgrave Road, Millbank Barracks. The 1869 map has Millbank Prison in some detail – the 1913 map has the Tate Gallery and Queen Alexandra Military Hospital in its place. The 1869 map is so detailed that even mixed gauge railway track is shown (the GWR had access to Victoria).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.
