Winchmore Hill 1896 – 7.10a
Winchmore Hill in 1896 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 Winchmore Hill, stretching from Memorial Terrace and Vicars Moor Lane southward to Stonard Road, and east to the New River and Highfield Row; Winchmorehill (spelt as one word on the map) is here shown as a modest sized village, with its station, St Paul`s church, Rosneath House, and scattering of streets. To the west of the village is Grovelands and the Deer Park, grounds landscaped by Humphry Repton. Beyond this is Bourneside and to the foot of the map is Clappers Green, with a small section of Southgate, including The Green, in the south-western corner. A directory of Winchmore Hill is on the reverse.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.
