Barking (Upney) in 1939 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. Three versions have been published for this area. The maps cover the eastern side of Barking but they are from different series, the ` Old` (map no. 74.09) & ` New` (maps no. 68.04) Essex Series, so the sheetlines are somewhat different. The ` New` Series maps link up more conveniently with the London Series. The Barking & Upney 1897 (No. 74.09) map is on different sheetlines than the other two versions, showing much the same area but stretching somewhat further west & south. This means that it does cover part of central Barking, including the station, Local Board Offices on East Street, Ripple Road, St Paul`s Road & southward to Morley Road. Along the southern part of the map are Greatfield, Mowers House, Eastbury House & the cemetery. The village of Upney is top centre. The map

Includes::
a commercial directory for Barking 1894. The Upney 1915 (No. 86.04a) map captures the eastern side of Barking showing the streets off Longbridge Road gradually being built up: Cecil Avenue, Wilmington Gardens, Hulse Avenue etc. North of this is Barking Park. From here coverage extends a mile eastward into open country. The hamlet of Upney is bottom centre, with its Isolation Hospital, Manor Farm is to the north-east. The LTS railway crosses the map west-east but no stations are shown. A directory listing of private residents in Barking in 1895 & 1920 is included. The Upney 1939 (No. 86.04b) map provides a strong contrast, for the area is now largely built up, with many roads now developed off Longbridge Road. Upney station is now open, & other features include Lodge Avenue & streets to its east, Sandringham Road, Barking Park, isolation hospital (no longer very isolated!) Extracts from a 1933 directory are included. About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS Series: Selected towns in Great Britain & Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th & early 20th century. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping & reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4, 340). On the reverse most maps have historical notes & many also include extracts from contemporary directories. Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one & a half miles (2.4kms) across; adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION & A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK.

The abbey at Barking was used as residence by William the Conqueror while the Tower of London was built. Its remains may still be seen near the old town quay. Barking had the largest fishing fleet in the world, the town thriving on its trade. As railways transported fish to London direct from east coast ports, this trade declined, but Barking`s riverside encouraged heavy industry. The town`s population increased enormously when the LCC built the massive Becontree estate to house London families from the East End. ...

From Annie Proulx, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Shipping News & Brokeback Mountain, comes her masterwork: an epic, dazzling, violent, magnificently dramatic novel about the taking down of the world`s forests. In the late seventeenth century two penniless young Frenchmen, Rene Sel & Charles Duquet, arrive in New France. Bound to a feudal lord, a ”seigneur, ” for three years in exchange for l&, they become wood-cutters
- barkskins. Rene suffers extraordinary hardship, oppressed by the forest he is charged with clearing. He is forced to marry a Mi`kmaw woman & their descendants live trapped between two inimical cultures. But Duquet, crafty & ruthless, runs away from the seigneur, becomes a fur trader, then sets up a timber business. Proulx tells the stories of the descendants of Sel & Duquet over three hundred years
- their travels across North America, to Europe, China, & New Zeal&, under stunningly brutal conditions; the revenge of rivals; accidents; pestilence; Indian attacks; & cultural annihilation. Over & over again, they seize what they can of a presumed infinite resource, leaving the modern-day characters face to face with possible ecological collapse. Proulx`s inimitable genius is her creation of characters who are so vivid
- in their greed, lust, vengefulness, or their simple compassion & hope
- that we follow them with fierce attention. Annie Proulx is one of the most formidable & compelling American writers, & Barkskins is her greatest novel, a magnificent marriage of history & imagination.
