Description (What the record is about)
-
(1, 3) Middlesex: Westminster (now the London Borough of Westminster): Whitehall. Two sheets of the Ordnance Survey five-foot map of London: (1) VII.73, covering the area between Coventry Street and Hungerford Bridge; (3) VII.83, a continuation of item (1) southward to Westminster Abbey. Scale: five feet to 1 mile (or 1 inch to 88 feet). Item (1) surveyed in 1871; engraved and published at the Ordnance Survey Office, Southampton, 1874; this edition transferred to zinc and printed in 1883. Item (3) surveyed by Colonel Bayly, Royal Engineers, 1870; engraved at the Ordnance Survey Office, Southampton, under the direction of Colonel Cameron, 1871; published 30 April 1873. Coloured MS additions to item (3) mark properties belonging to central government, the Metropolitan Board of Works, the Metropolitan District Railway, and Saint Stephen's Club. Further additions to both items, drawn in coloured pencil and labelled in ink, appear to show the sites of royal and government buildings and gardens from earlier centuries that no-longer existed by the 1880s. A pencilled note to item (3) states: 'Red pencil alterations re-produced from Reports 616'.
(2) Memorandum dated 15 July 1874, explaining the lettered points on item (3).
