Box 1936
Box in 1936 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 the village of Box, probably best known for Brunel`s railway tunnel. The railway runs through the map and includes the western portal to the tunnel and both Box station and Box Mill Lane Halt. Other railway features are sidings and the engine shed used until 1919 for a banking engine, said to be the inspiration for the Rev Awdrey`s Thomas the Tank Engine (the author lived in Box). Other features include the church, cemetery, pubs, The Bassetts, stone yard, Fogleigh House to the north. To the west the map covers part of Ashley including Ashley Manor, Ashley Green, Middlehill, and
the small village of Ditteridge (or Ditcheridge) including St Christopher`s church. Directories of Box and Ditteridge are on the reverse.
