London Fire Brigade Instructional Map. - Bartholomew's Plan of London.

1920s Bartholomew Fire Brigade Map of London

An enormously proportioned and extremely unusual map of London, England prepared by John Bartholomew. Covers the entire city of London from Kenton in the northwest, to Richmond Park in the southwest, to Hospital Hill in the northeast and Longlands in the southeast. Offers extraordinary detail freely labeling individual buildings, streets, and waterways throughout London. Prepared as a “London Fire Brigade Instructional Map” with the area of London patrolled by the fire brigades outlined in red. Probably not originally a fire brigade map, but adopted by the fire brigade commanders from Bartholomew’s Plan of London, the best available at the time. Undated, but no earlier than 1923 as it uses the railway names (Southern, LNER) that were created that year. A rare and magnificent piece of London history.
