Bexley Heath 1862

Bexley Heath in 1862 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 what was still called Bexley Heath – the name did not become Bexleyheath until later in the century. Coverage extends from Crook Log and Upton Lane eastward to Gravel Hill and a little beyond. The principal feature of the map are the many houses in leafy gardens spread along the Dover Road, which goes west-east across it. Features include Mill Road with a corn windmill, Warren Farm, church, Essex Place, Markall Lane, and several pubs on the main road. Beyond this it remains a rural scene. A directory of Bexley Heath is on the reverse.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.
