Warlingham in 1910 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 village lies in the south-eastern area of the map, which stretches north to Hamsey Green & west to Warlingham Court Farm. The author of the accompanying notes, Richard Oliver
- an acknowledged expert on the Ordnance Survey but also here a local lad, suggests cycling round the map: ”not so many streets have been constructed since 1910 that there is much danger of getting lost”. An 1899 directory of Warlingham is included. 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.
