Kenwood & Golders Hill 1894

Detailed map of Kenwood; London sheet 18. Introduction by Pamela Taylor. incl The Spaniards, North End. At present we have published just the one map for this area. It covers an area of a mile by a mile and a half, still largely rural in 1894, stretching from Finchley Road eastward to Kenwood House. To the south it includes part of Hampstead Heath, including The Spaniards pub, Kenwood House itself, Ken Wood and North End. Golders Hill is included and North End Road, but beyond this the map is rural Middlesex, including Bishop's Wood, Turner's Wood and Wild Hatch. This also has the sheet numbering of Middlesex Sheet 11.12. On the reverse we include about half of a later map, showing the eastern half of the map revised to 1912. This is busier, showing development north of Golders Hill Park, including Golders Green station, West Heath Avenue, North End Road, Hampstead Way, Jews Cemetery, railway works. This provides a fascinating contrast with the 1894 version.
