Finsbury Park & Stroud Green 1870

Detailed map of Finsbury Park; London sheet 20. Introduction by Alan Godfrey. The 1870 map shows an almost rural area, just before the park was created. Coverage runs from Topsfield Hall at Crouch End southward to Fonthill Road, eastward to Manor House. Features include Stroud Green, Hornseywood Tavern, Northumberland House, Mount Pleasant, Crouch Hill station (on Tottenham & Hampstead railway), Manor House pub, numerous named villas and large houses in the Crouch Hill area. The GNR line runs north-south through the centre of the map. The GNR High Barnet branch and Tottenham & Hampstead lines are also shown. On the reverse we include a directory of Crouch Hill in 1890.
