Hanger Hill 1895

Hanger Hill in 1895 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 for this area have been published to show how it developed across the years. The 1895 version is a somewhat empty, showing just how rural much of Middlesex was at the end of the 19th century, even though it includes parts of Ealing, Willesden, Acton and Hanwell parishes, and is only a mile from the great railway interchange at Willesden Junction. Features include Hanger Hill and a handful of large houses along Hanger Lane, the Grand Junction Water Works, Twyford Abbey, and several farms. By contrast, the 1935 version is filled with industry, including the western half of the Park Royal estate.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.
