East Ham & Barking (South) 1915 - 86.07

East Ham and Barking South in 1915 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. Titles in this series were originally published in groups by county and this map, from the Essex group, fills a gap linking coverage of London with Essex. Coverage stretches from Ladysmith Avenue eastward to St Mary''s Road Barking, and from Caledon Road southward to Norman Road. Features include the municipal centre of East Ham, with Town Hall, Central Hall, tram depot, Baths and Technical College; to the east is part of Barking town centre, including the Abbey ruins and St Margaret''s church. Other features include tramways, with one over Barking Creek, River Roding, sewage works, Jews Cemetery, Central Park, St Bartholomew''s church, Wallend, Barking Road Recreation Ground, and the swathe of new streets developed either side of East Ham High Street South. On the reverse are the private resident lists for East Ham and Barking from a 1922 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.
