in "Philips' Handy Volume Atlas of London"
A highly detailed map divided into half mile squares, printed in colour.
The level of detail can be appreciated from the close up image provided.
Covers Welling, East Wickham, Bellegrove (Bell Grove), present day Falconwood, Blackfen and more.
All the streets and important places are named including the Bexley Heath and Dartford Railway, Welling Station, Shoulder of Mutton Green, Old Dover Road, Plumstead Cemetery, Clothworkers Wood, Wickham Lane, Danson Park, Edison Road etc etc.
A fascinating record of London as it was 100 years ago before the ravages of WWII and the march of modern development.
Fine, clean condition. The map was printed in two seperate halves which have been conjoined with archival tape (neutral pH) on the back of the map. Due to inconsistencies of the printing process there may be some slight mis-register along the join. There are unrelated maps printed on the back.
Approx. 8" x 7" (210mm x 180mm) overall.
