Originally in two volumes, and now all on one CD for easy reference - these books are an absolutely invaluable resource for those with ancestors in the greater London area in the 1800s. Every place is described in superb detail, together with lovely illustrations that can be used in your family history files. Bear in mind that at the time the book was written, such places were tiny villages out in the countryside, and with very small populations. To read about the conditions and facilities in each of them is not only fascinating, but it adds so much useful background information about how your ancestors lived. Incorporate it into 'your' history!
Also it includes a copy of the fold out map of London as it was in the 1880's. Written by Edward Walford. Published by Cassell & Company, Limited: London, Paris, New York & Melbourne. There is no copyright date, but these volumes followed the "Old and New London" and probably date from the 1880's. Illustrated with numerous engravings. Vol. I has 576 pages. Vol II has 560 pages.
