Where did they live? Our Historical Street Maps of London in 1843, 1863 and 1902 span the Victorian era and show the massive expansion of the industrial revolution. Bradshaw’s Map 1907 shows the UK’s railway network in its heyday with a new map devoted to the London area. Our reprints of out of print guide books cover London and Great Britain. Explore The Empire in its heyday; The Thames of ‘The Three Men in a Boat’ and London after The Great Fire. Our Victorian coloured Ordnance Survey Maps show the smallest villages in great detail.

How did they live? What was life like before cars, planes and the internet? We have books that answer thousands of ‘lifestyle’ questions, explain how to be a gentlewoman, even how to become a poacher - and who would have thought that the English language could have changed so much? Fopdoodle and Salmagundi shows 1400 words and meanings that time forgot.
