Beckton in 1894 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 of this map have been published to show how the area developed across the years. Until the 1840s Beckton was ”a marshy waste, a notorious venue for illegal prize-fighting” writes author Stephen Pewsey, & these maps still show an area with few inhabitants. The principal feature is the vast Gas Works of the Gas Light & Coke Company, shown here with all its many railway sidings, & adjacent to a large Tar & Liquor Works. The Northern Outfall Sewer runs across the map, as does the GER Beckton Branch, with its Beckton station. Other features include the group of streets known as Cyprus, a section of the Royal Albert Docks Railway, St Michael & All Angels church, & the group of houses known as Roman Road. The 1894 map also
