1848 large scale map of Romford.

[Phillip Walton]

There exists an 1848 large scale map of Romford known as the Gotto plan. I have just found out that digital copies of this map are available online.

Nice to see the Giotto spacecraft taking pics of this mysterious place before it returns to the farthest corners of the solar system.

Fog along the river Rom - England isolated.

The fog on the Rom is all mine, all mine

Or, you bring Black Beauty and I'll bring Desmond Dekker...?

My late mum was in a nursing home that had been home to one of the two, Black or Decker. They were and are a Baltimore area firm.

And they sell them in the East End - I claim my prize!

Great pity that the original is in such a poor condition. I was aware of the map but I didn't know there was two versions. I knew of the smaller scale map of the whole town but I was unaware that the larger scale series of maps existed.
