Rush Green 1914

Product Description

Rush Green in 1914 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 northern part of Dagenham, stretching from Frizlands Lane & the east end of Becontree Heath eastward to the River Rom, & from Rush Green Road southward to Eastbrookend Farm. The area was entirely rural in 1915 & the only notable features are a few farms, some houses at the end of Becontree (Beacontree) Heath, Ilford Park cemetery (now Eastbrookend cemetery) & Romford Isolation Hospital. 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.
