Woolwich 1866

Detailed map of Woolwich; London sheet 94. Introduction by Julian Watson. The map covers the area, stretching from Maryon Road and Wood Street eastward to Earl Street and Waverley Road; from St Mary's church and Powis Street southward to Woolwich Common and Nightingale Vale. The map therefore includes the centre of Woolwich, the area around the Royal Artillery Barracks, and west Plumstead. Please note that the Dockyard and Royal Arsenal areas were left blank for security reasons. However, the maps still give a great deal of information elsewhere. Features include the town centre, Red Barracks, Cambridge Barracks, Royal Artillery Barracks, Royal Military Repository, Charlton Cemetery, Grand Depot Barracks, both Woolwich stations, tramways, St George's church, St Margaret's Plumstead church, Burrage Town, Brookhill Park, Barrack Field, Naval Hospital, Royal Marine Barracks etc. The 1866 map has another map on the reverse, Sheet 11 of the 10 foot plans of Woolwich. This shows Powis Street in tremendous and attractive detail, even including features such as garden layouts.

Reduced from the original Ordnance Survey 1:2,500 map to a scale of approximately 1:4,340 (or about 15" to the mile). Published by Alan Godfrey Maps, Leadgate, Consett
