Wonderful maps

Yes, they really are.
I have the Horwood maps in book form ...
The A-Z of Regency London, The London Topographical Soc & Harry Margary, 1985. ISBN 0 902087 19 3. (Excellent maps around 1812 ... indexed and even has house numbers!.)
... but this site is now available to show them online ...

I use them a lot for locating sugarhouses in London.

Oh wow, that resource looks outstanding. That's got me really excited, thank you very much!

Perhaps I need to explain ...

Horwood was employed/sponsored by the Phoenix Fire Office to produce these maps. Phoenix was the fire insurance company founded by the London sugar refiners, initially for their own use. On the maps, Horwood crosshatched many of the buildings insured by Phoenix.

That's a good spot, thanks. Gosh it's a tiny little road, isn't it.

It sure is. Blink and you'd miss it, as my dad would say!

You can just see it in the first pic i linked to....right next to the left hand side of the white join in the map - The word "pancras" on the left of the join, the word "place" on the right of the join.

This is the link to the Horwood map 1790s - Pancras's Place

Goodness, by overlaying the modern map you can clearly see that Pancras Pl was demolished for the building of St Pancras Station.
