Southampton West in 1908 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. Southampton is covered by three titles. Few areas have changed more comprehensively than this map, for in 1908 the tide still came up to the western shore & almost up to the station. This land was infilled as part of the Western Docks project between 1927 & 1934. The map shows the area from French Street northward to Polygon Road, & westward to Waterloo Road. Though much of the map was mud & sand in 1908, with several creeks, there is still much of interest, including Bugle Street, St Michael`s church, Western Esplanade, Corporation Baths, West Quay, Lansdowne Hill, Polygon, West Marlands (before the Civic Centre was built), West Park, Thorners Charity, Southampton West station, Fourposts, Blechynden, etc..
