These four sheets, from Stanford’s beautifully detailed 20 part folding map, are joined together to show North East London. Extends from Walthamstow in the north to Rotherhithe in the south, and from Holloway in the west to West Ham in the east. As explained in the map’s title page: “The parks and open spaces under the control of the London County Council are coloured red blue-green. Other parks and open spaces are coloured yellow-green. The Main Roads, Omnibus and Tramway routes are coloured brown.” Two keys to adjoining sheets and two scales on bottom margin, scale is 4 inches to 1 mile.
Very good condition, despite some minor discolouration in places.
