Sample Map The massive expansion of the Victorian age produced a demand for detailed maps to determine ownership of land and to plan development. Edward Stanford, who was at the forefront of Victorian cartography, produced these maps to show the railways, industrial development, new housing, docks and roads that were springing up all over London. All these are marked and much more. Anyone seeking information about their forebears will be able to see the streets, alleyways and outlying villages where they lived and went to school; the churches and chapels where they were married and attended Sunday services; the factories, riverside wharves and farms where they worked; the miserable workhouses where they ended their days and the burial grounds where they were laid to rest. The early railways are marked as are the houses of famous people such as the Hampstead home of Sir Rowland Hill, the social reformer who invented the postal service.
The scale of 6 inches to 1 mile shows great detail.
