This early 20th century 1/2500 scale Ordnance Survey map sheet has been manually overpainted in colours to indicate relative levels of wealth and poverty; the colours used correspond with those deployed in the final published �New Survey� maps. This sheet is one of a collection of similar maps hitherto in the collection of the London School of Economics Geography Department, which have been collectively updated and annotated by hand to reflect housing and street developments to 1928 and no later. As such, this is a unique map.DATE PRINTED: One of a series of map sheets which have collectively been manually updated to and coloured in 1928.
