Finsbury Park and Stroud Green in 1870 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 have been published to present how this area developed across the years. The 1870 map shows an almost rural area, just before the park was created. The 1894 and 1912 versions show it progressively more built up, especially with the development of Harringay, the opening of more railway stations and the development of Finsbury Park. Coverage runs from Topsfield Hall at Crouch End southward to Fonthill Road, eastward to Manor House. Features include Stroud Green, Hornseywood Tavern, Northumberland House, Mount Pleasant, Crouch Hill station (on Tottenham and Hampstead railway), Manor House pub, numerous named villas and large houses in the Crouch Hill area. The GNR line runs north-south through the centre of the map. The GNR High Barnet branch and Tottenham and Hampstead lines are also shown. On the reverse is a directory of Crouch Hill in 1890.
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.
