Wandsworth Common in 1905
Stanford’s map

Wandsworth Common in 1905, from Edward Stanford’s map of London, from Clapham Junction down to Upper Tooting and from Earlsfield and Garratt Green to Clapham Common and Balham. The Common is shown in green, cut by the railways, with the Royal Victoria Patriotic School, Emanuel School and Wandsworth Prison beside it, the new streets of the Magdalen estate laid out to the west, and the terraces between the Commons almost complete.

The map. Stanford’s maps of London were revised many times; this is the 1905 edition. Its scale is still to be checked.

This copy. A detail, shown as supplied. The faint line across the middle is a join in the original.
