West India Docks 1867
West India Docks 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. Three versions of this map have been published to show how the area developed across the years. The sheetlines are a little unkind to the Isle of Dogs, which is split between several sheets (78, 79, 91, 92) but this is perhaps the main map for that area. The three maps all cover the same area, stretching from Poplar Docks southward to the north part of Cubitt Town and including major parts of the two West India Docks, the South Dock and Millwall Inner Dock. Part of Millwall Outer Dock is at the extreme foot of the map. Blackwall with its shipbuilding yards is at the top of the map.
Across the Thames are Greenwich Marshes, growing more developed over the years and today famous for the Dome. The 1867 map shows Cubitt Town developed by the river and all the docks built. London & Blackwall Railway is at the top, with Poplar station at the margin; LNER Goods station shown. Features include Blackwall Yard and shipbuilding yard. Greenwich Marshes still largely undeveloped except for electric telelgraph works and `Iron Boat Building Yard`. Several shipbuilding yards on east side of Isle of Dogs. On reverse is a list of shipbuilders and related trades from an 1859 directory. 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 SERIES LINK.
