St John`s Wood 1868

St John`s Wood in 1868 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. Four versions of this map have been published, each covers the same area: Kilburn Park Road and Essendine Road eastward to Regents Park, and from Marlborough Road and St John`s Wood Barracks southward to Marylebone station. They show the area developing across the years, a notable difference being the arrival of the Great Central Railway and Marylebone station with its approaches on the 1913 and 1937 maps. Lords Cricket Ground is in the centre of the map and other features include Hanover Terrace, Regents Park College, Blandford Square, St Dunstan`s Villa, Sutherland Avenue, Maida Vale, St Augustine`s church, Paddington Recreation Ground. The 1868 map is still largely undeveloped west of Portsdown Road. By 1937 the map is almost entirely built up, and Maida Vale Studios and Abbey Road Studios are already major musical centres.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.
