Mill Hill Village 1898

Mill Hill Village in 1898 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. The map covers the area of Mill Hill later known as the Village, which had become a `gentleman`s suburb` by 1800. Hamlets were at the summits of Bittacy and Milespit Hills, and large houses were strung along the line of the Ridgeway between them. This is still very much a rural map; frequent spot heights detail the climb up the two hills, and a group of buildings are shown where the two roads join – Grammar School, inns, almshouses etc. Major buildings include The Priory, St Vincent`s School and Convent, Burton Bank, Bittacy House. To the east is empty countryside, apart from Frith Manor House and Nether Court. On the reverse is a `Map of the Roads from London to Mill Hill and Barnet` by John Cooke, from 1792, an attractive early road map.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).

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.
