Bexley Heath 1862

Detailed map of Bexley Heath; Kent sheet 8.04. Introduction by Malcolm Barr-Hamilton. This early and highly detailed OS map covers what was still called Bexley Heath; the name did not become Bexleyheath until later in the century. Coverage extends from Crook Log and Upton Lane eastward to Gravel Hill and a little beyond, the principal feature of the map being the many houses in leafy gardens spread along the Dover Road, which goes west-east across the map. Features include Mill Road with a corn windmill, Warren Farm, church, Essex Place, Markall Lane, and several pubs on the main road. Beyond this it remains a rural scene. A directory of Bexley Heath is on the reverse.
