Eltham Green 1894 – 120.2
Eltham 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. Two versions cover this area, stretching from Leyland Road at Lewisham eastward to Eltham Green and a little beyond, and northward to Kidbrooke station. Several streets are being developed on the west side of the map, along the fringes Blackheath Park and Lewisham, also near St Peter`s church on The Avenue. The area around Eltham Green is largely rural. Coverage of the 1894 version has been extended by including on the reverse part of Kent Sheet 8.01 which takes it to the centre of Eltham village, with St John`s church, Court Yard, Eltham Court, the remains of Eltham Palace, and Well Hall station.About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25″ OS SeriesSelected 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.
