Southampton West in 1908 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. Southampton is covered by three titles. Few areas have changed more comprehensively than this map, for in 1908 the tide still came up to the western shore and almost up to the station. This land was infilled as part of the Western Docks project between 1927 and 1934. The map shows the area from French Street northward to Polygon Road, and westward to Waterloo Road. Though much of the map was mud and sand in 1908, with several creeks, there is still much of interest, including Bugle Street, St Michael''s church, Western Esplanade, Corporation Baths, West Quay, Lansdowne Hill, Polygon, West Marlands (before the Civic Centre was built), West Park, Thorners Charity, Southampton West station, Fourposts, Blechynden, etc..
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.
