Ascot 1910

Detailed map of Ascot Berkshire sheet 39.16. Introduction by Tony Painter. This detailed map covers the area from Ascot station and racecourse eastward to Sunninghill and St Michael & All Angels church. The map is double-sided to provide maximum coverage. Much of the celebrated race course is included on the main map , including the Grand Stand, New Stand and New Mile Course. Other features include the station, High Street, St George's School, King's Wick, The Mount, Wells Hotel PH, Frognal, with numerous large houses, often in leafy grounds. Part of Sunninghill, including Lower Village Road and Upper Village Road, is to the SE, while South Ascot with All Souls church is shown below the railway; much of this development became possible by the draining of Sunningdale Bog. Our backing map, part of sheet 39.15, takes coverage further west to the Royal Ascot Hotel, the saddling paddock, All Saints church, Englemere, Ascot Heath House and Bowledge Hill. Tony Painter's introduction explains how Ascot developed into a top horse-racing venue.
