Upton, Plashet & Forest Gate in 1867 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, as reflected by the change of the title. The maps cover an area stretching from Fairland Road & West Ham Park eastward to Woodgrange Park Cemetery, & from the GER railway southward to Plashet Road. The 1867 map shows a very rural area, principal features include Ham House & Ham Park, Plashet House, Plashet Hall, Pawnbrokers Almshouses, Woodgrange, & some development around Forest Lane. Country lanes such as Gipsy Lane & Red Post Lane link Plashet with the Romford Road. Each map has selected extracts from a contemporary street directory.
