A Map of Hyde Park & West London I circa 1816

THIS IS A REBUBLISHED MAP LAID ONTO CLOTH

Ref: 10WestLondon, 1816, John Cary

A map of Hyde Park & West London, first published circa 1816. At the time of the Norman conquest in the 11th century, the area thar was to become Hyde Park was a wild place inhabited by deer, boar, and cattle. Over time, the land became the property of Westminster Abbe, and with the dissolution of the monastries in 1536, it became the hunting ground for Henry VII. The public was admitted in the early 18th century, though the deer were still hunted here up until the 1760s.

At the time John Cary published this map in 1816, the park was still bordered on three sides by pasture and market gardens, supplying London with milk, vegetables, and fruit. Within 50 years, this rural environment would be swept away, and the park would be completely surrounded by development, bringing with it the noises, bustle, and smoke of Victorian London.
