East Whickham & Welling 1894

Detailed map of East Wickham; London sheet 108. Introduction by Len Reilly. The 1894 map is centred on East Wickham, still a rural village in 1894, and shows St Michael's church, the Duchess of Edinburgh pub, several greenhouses and a scattering of farms and houses. Welling station is at the foot of the map, which extends northward to Plumstead Cemetery and Woolwich Cemetery, and westward to Shoulder of Mutton Green. The London map does not include the centre of Welling, so we have put a section of the adjacent and contemporary Kent map to extend coverage on the reverse side; this covers the area near Welling station, including Welling village and Bell Grove, with a stretch of the Dover Road. There are also street directory entries for Welling, East Wickham Lane and a few other roads.
