Description
Detailed plan of London, extending to Hammersmith in the west clockwise to Shepherd's Bush, Cricklewood, Stoke Newington, Hackney Marshes, The East India Docks and the Isle of Dogs, Greenwich, Camberwell, Battersea & Barn Elms. Marked on the map are Kensal Green Cemetery (1833); Brompton Cemetery (1840); Brunel's Hungerford Suspension Bridge (1845); the planned layout of Battersea Park (Act of Parliament passed that year, opened 1858); and the proposed Lambeth Bridge (1862). Already the Ladbroke Estate is laid out over the Kensington Hippodrome racecourse (closed 1842), although Notting Hill Gate is still 'Kensington Gravel Pits'. Of interest is the scale in the bottom and bottom borders, marking the time difference in seconds from Greenwich Mean Time: Hammersmith is a whopping 55 seconds west!
