Bexleyheath (North) 1895

Detailed map of Bexley Heath; Kent sheet 8.04. Introduction by Malcolm Barr-Hamilton. This highly detailed map covers what was still a largely rural area. The Bexleyheath Railway, completed only in 1895, runs west-east across the lower part of the map, with Bexleyheath station towards the SW corner. Past it Pickford Lane runs north-south, later joining Long Lane, but both are still country roads. To the east are Crooked Wood, Bursted Wood, a few houses of Northumberland Heath, the Travellers Rest pub, an isolation hospital, and some orchards. But development was about to begin. We also include a directory.
