I thought my house was built some time between 1890 and 1900, but as I can see it on this map, I guess that puts it nearer to 1890.<p>I'd like to think of some Victorian gentleman sitting in this very same room, smoking a pipe, reading in the paper by gaslight about the newly built power station at Deptford, and about Idaho becoming the 43rd American state.
It even shows Horse Troughs, which are still there<p><a href="http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=19&lat=51.5230&lon=-0.1060&layers=163" rel="nofollow">http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=19&lat=51.5230&lon=-0.1...</a>
Some building seem to have their internal walls mapped. For example:<p><a href="http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=20&lat=51.5226&lon=-0.1061&layers=163" rel="nofollow">http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=20&lat=51.5226&lon=-0.1...</a><p>Or am I reading this wrongly?
This looks a lot like the maps that came with the old Sherlock Holmes Infocom game: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock:_The_Riddle_of_the_Crown_Jewels" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock:_The_Riddle_of_the_Cr...</a> ... which makes sense I guess.
Is there a page that explains all these abbreviations and symbols? P.H.? H? F.P.? That little arrow against the walls? <a href="http://maps.nls.uk/townplans/symbols.html" rel="nofollow">http://maps.nls.uk/townplans/symbols.html</a> only has a couple.
