Whetstone 1897

Whetstone in 1897 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. The map covers an area stretching from Totteridge Green eastward to Oakleigh Park. The Great North Road runs north-south through the centre of the map, closely paralleled by the GNR High Barnet line (later Northern Line), including Totteridge & Whetstone station. A short stretch of the GNR main line, including Oakleigh Park station, is in the north-eastern corner. The main feature is Whetstone, spread along the Great North Road, including St John`s church, North Place, numerous pubs, and several nurseries off Oakleigh Road. Oakleigh Park is in early stages of development but includes All Saints church. The county boundary with Hertfordshire runs down the Dollis Brook, and west of it is much of Totteridge Green.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.
