Thornton Heath and Norbury 1894

Thornton Heath and Norbury 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 for this area have been published to show how it developed across the years – the two maps are from different series, for Surrey and for London, and so the sheetlines are somewhat different. This London series map No.149 from 1894 covers an area from Pollards Hill North at Norbury eastward to Whitehorse Road and Decimus Burton Road at Thornton Heath; and from Beulah Crescent southward to Holmesdale Road and Brigstock Road. Features include Thornton Heath station, New Thornton Heath, and a long stretch of London Road through Norbury; streets at Thornton Heath include High Street, Bensham Manor Road, Beulah Road and others. There is a very good selection of street directory entries on the reverse. The Surrey sheet 14.02 from 1911 is centred somewhat further east, although it does overlap considerably with the London map. This later map is more built up and covers an area from Bridport Road and Beverstone Road eastward to South Norwood Hill and Whitworth Road; and from Beulah Crescent southward to Ecclesbourne Road and Dagnall Park. Features include tramways, Grangewood, Thornton Heath station, Falkland Park, Ross Road, Whitehorse Road etc. That map has good street directory extracts, listing many of the occupants. 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.
