Upney in 1915 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. Three versions have been published for this area. The maps cover the eastern side of Barking but they are from different series, the ` Old` (map no. 74.09) & ` New` (maps no. 68.04) Essex Series, so the sheetlines are somewhat different. The ` New` Series maps link up more conveniently with the London Series. The Barking & Upney 1897 (No. 74.09) map is on different sheetlines than the other two versions, showing much the same area but stretching somewhat further west & south. This means that it does cover part of central Barking, including the station, Local Board Offices on East Street, Ripple Road, St Paul`s Road & southward to Morley Road.
