Welsh Harp 1895
Welsh Harp 1895
£3.50
Welsh Harp in 1895 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, showing how it developed across the years.

The map is centred on Brent Reservoir, & coverage stretches from Holden Avenue & Church Lane eastward to Sturgess Avenue; & from Borthwick Road & Fryent Grove southward to Review Road & the North Circular. Features include the Old Welsh Harp pub. The reservoir was opened in 1838 & subsequently enlarged; during the 19th century thousands flocked here, drawn by the pleasure gardens at the Old Welsh Harp & Upper Welsh Harp inns. Welsh Harp station opened to serve these customers in 1870, but closed in 1903 when trade declined & the area was developed. The Old Welsh Harp inn was demolished in 1971 to make way for the Staples Corner flyover. On the reverse of the 1895 map is a contemporary description, with illustrations, of the Welsh Harp pleasure gardens. The 1936 map

Includes:: extracts from a contemporary street directory. 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.
