New Barnet 1896

Middlesex Sheet 6.08 New Barnet 1896 - published 1985; intro by Pamela Taylor. "The focus of this map is New Barnet, a classic example of a suburb developing around a railway station" says Pamela Taylor in her introduction. New Barnet station was built on part of the Lyonsdown estate, the rest of which was then resold to the British Land Co for development. Our map captures the suburb that was the result, streets spreading out from the GNR railway and its station. Coverage extends south to the smaller East Barnet community, and west to Barnet Vale and to High Barnet terminus (then still a GNR branch). Other features include Underhill, Greenhill Park, Willenhall Park.
