They show streets with individual houses, tram tracks, railway tracks and even signals, factories, wharves and such details as fountains and water troughs. They will provide hours of fascination for historians and genealogists. The maps are neatly folded and each includes a specially written introduction to the area.

Here are the details of maps for Bexleyheath:
This early and highly detailed OS map covers what was still called Bexley Heath; the name did not become Bexleyheath until later in the century. Coverage extends from Crook Log and Upton Lane eastward to Gravel Hill and a little beyond, the principal feature of the map being the many houses in leafy gardens spread along the Dover Road, which goes west-east across the map. Features include Mill Road with a corn windmill, Warren Farm, church, Essex Place, Markall Lane, and several pubs on the main road. Beyond this it remains a rural scene. A directory of Bexley Heath is on the reverse.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent Kent maps is available here. The map links up with Kent Sheets 2.16 Bexleyheath North to the north, 9.01 Crayford to the east, 8.08 Bexley to the south.
