Tooting 1913 – 134.3

Tooting in 1913 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; coverage is less complete on the 1913 map where the Surrey part of the map is left blank. The 1894 map covers the area from Wimbledon cemetery and Cromwell Road eastward to St Nicholas` church, Mitcham Road and Vant Road, and from Maskell Road and Huntspill Road southward to Cowper Road and Trevelyan Road. Features include Fountain Hospital; Lambeth, Wimbledon and Streatham cemeteries; Tooting Graveney, Merton Road, High Street, Mitcham Road, St Clement Danes Almshouses, tramways along Upper Tooting Road; a stretch of the River Wandle with industries, including Garratt Printing Works; Durnsford Lodge Hospital, Haydon`s Road station. The map has street directory extracts for Bickersteth Road, Blackshaw Road, Broadway, Garratt Lane, Hereward Road, Mellison Road, Merton Road and Mitcham Road. The 1913 map (published by the OS as London Sheet XII.4) has Surrey – the area west of Lambeth Cemetery – left blank. In this version the marginal London sheet XII.8 to the south is provided as an inset for completion. The map excludes Haydons Road station, Wimbledon cemetery and the River Wandle area, but it does cover the massive Grove Hospital, more extensive tramways, and more streets, especially between Backshaw Road and Garratt Lane. Street directories are included for Defoe Road, Garratt Lane, Tooting High Street, Mitcham Road, Selkirk Street and a few others. 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. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping and reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4,340).

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.
