About this book:
Without an A lo Z most people-even Cockneys—can get lost in London. The A lo Z of Victorian London will enable its purchasers to find their way round the streets of London as it was one hundred years ago.
The atlas consists of 59 map sheets from Bacon’s New Large-Scale Ordnance Allas of London & Suburbs, which appeared in 1888.
The index allows users of the A to Z to find any street, road, lane, wharf, square or public building. The area covered reaches to Mill Hill to the north, Chislehurst and New Bromley to the south, Abbey Wood to the east, and Southall to the west, thus taking in the greater part of today’s subur-bia. Useful detail includes banks, theatres, insurance houses, statues, and named terraces.
Two complete maps are included: 34 map sheets covering the central area at 9″ scale and 25 covering the wider area, indicated above, at 4″ scale. The map sheets are reproduced slightly reduced in scale as page pairs.
The A to Z of Victorian London, represents the latest volume in a successful series issued by the publishers. Earlier volumes were The A to Z of Elizabethan London; The A to Z of Georgian London; and The A to Z of Regency London. Like those titles the Victorian volume will be invaluable for historians, geographers, and genealogists.
