Erith 1864
Erith in 1864 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 Thames-side village of Erith. St John`s church is near the top and coverage continues south and east down West Street and High Street to include the busy village centre. Beyond this are Erith Gardens, with Erith Pier and the Pier Hotel; in 1842 the Guardians of the Wheatley Estate, which owned most of Erith, had tried to develop the village as a resort. The Wheatley Estate would be sold off in 1874, however, so this map captures Erith at an interesting earlier stage. Other features include Cray Coal Wharf, Randell Street, The Wheatley Arms, station, The Villas, Anchor Bay,
Upper Ballast Wharf with tramway. A very small portion of Essex is included across the river, showing Coldharbour Point.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. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping and reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4, 340). On the reverse most maps have historical notes and many also include extracts from contemporary directories. Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one and a half miles (2.4kms) across; adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION AND A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE
