Crystal Palace in 1871 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. Two versions have been published to show how the area developed across the years
- the two maps are from different series, for Kent & for London, & so the sheetlines are somewhat different. The Kent series map No. 7.10 is kinder to the Crystal Palace itself; the map even shows the interior layout & the grounds in all their glory. The map stretches from Gipsy Hill station eastward to Penge station on the LCD line, from Crystal Palace station northward to Upper Sydenham & Wells Road. A more detailed plan of the Palace, from the Illustrated London News, is on the reverse. The sheetlines for the London Sheet 145 are slightly different & are really centred on Anerley Hill. This map just covers part of the Crystal Palace at the top of the map, plus an area southward to South Norwood Lake, from Beulah Hill eastward to Maple Road & Penge Recreation Ground. Features include Crystal Palace (Low Level) station, Penge & Anerley stations on the Brighton line, Queen`s Hotel, Central Hill, Westow Hill, the western part of Penge, North Surrey District Schools, & much of Anerley. On the reverse are street directories for Auckland Road, Churcfh Road, Westow Hill & Westow Street. About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS Series: Selected towns in Great Britain & Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th & early 20th century.

Chris Yates, one of Britain's most insightful & lyrical writers, raises his gaze from his beloved rivers & ponds & takes us on a mesmerizing tour of the British countryside. Last November, the sudden appearance of a hundred wintering ravens in a wood in Cranborne Chase, where I have lived for twenty-five years without seeing more than a few solitary specimens, reminded me that there is always something ready to flame up again in the landscape, just when it seemed the fire had gone out. In Nightwalk we accompany Chris Yates on the most magical of journeys into the very heart of the British countryside. His acute observation of the natural world & ability to transcend it exquisitely sets Chris apart from his contemporaries.
