MapsNB images accessed from this page are often over 200K and may take some time to download if you are not a Broadband user.Tithe MapsThe High Street is split between the New Brentford and Ealing tithe maps, dating from 1838 and 1839/1841 respectively.Each property was allocated a number, eg The New Brentford apportionment records land ownership rather than property ownership, so has not been so useful for linking people to properties - but it is a beautiful document with stunning colouring. The tithe map images available through the following links appear courtesy of Corporation of London, London Metropolitan Archives.
Ordnance SurveyThe larger scale OS maps also show individual properties. I have added house numbers to the 1894 map as part of this project and the resulting images will be made available in time. See example
1909/10 Valuation ReturnsThe Valuation Returns consist of a set of annotated 1894 OS maps, each property/plot being given a reference, and a set of books in which brief details for each property/plot were recorded on pre-printed forms.The information recorded varied in depth of detail but typically included frontage, rooms on each floor, outbuildings, rent, value. The valuations generally took place in the 1910 - 1920 period; sometimes the books include valuation date. There are a number of small sketches used to illustrate rights of way etc. The maps and books are held at The National Archives, Kew. I have not been able to locate the map showing the eastern part of Old Brentford: this map covered parts of Surrey; the map at Kew includes property refs for the Surrey properties but not the Middlesex properties. Top1930 MapMr T.W. Collis has prepared a hand-drawn map showing the area between the Market Place and Half Acre as he remembers it from ca 1930. The map includes the old and new road lines, showing how the High Street was much marrower.Use of maps in the High Street project
