Greenford in 1939 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 for this area have been published to show how it developed across the years. Coverage extends from Holy Cross church southward to Beechmount Avenue, and from Westbury Avenue eastward to Greatdown Road. In 1894 this was still a rural village but by 1939 it was largely built up apart from Perivale Park and Ravenor Park. On the reverse of the 1894 version is the eastern half of sheet 15.06, covering the Grand Junction Canal with its brickfield dock branches. The 1939 version has on the reverse extracts from a contemporary directory, completing the entry begun on the North Greenford map.
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.
