THIS IS A REBUBLISHED MAP LAID ONTO CLOTH

Ref: Lon003, 1826, G.F.Cruchley

'Cruchley's Twelve Miles Round London', first published circa 1826. Extent: Southall - Plumstead - Enfield - Croydon

Cruchley's Twelve Miles Round London, taken from the original antique copper engraved map or plan published in circa 1826 by G.F.Cruchley Of 38 Ludgate Street. It extends from Southall in the west to Dagenham in the east and Waltham Abbey in the north to Croydon in the south. The principal parks and gentleman's seats or coloured in green. This map extends 12 miles from central London because this was half a days journey on your horse in 1826. It was reckoned that a rider could travel to London and back from anywhere within the area covered by this map in a morning.

George Frederick Cruchley (1796 - 1880) was a map publisher in the middle part of the 19th century, setting up his business in the early 1820's. His maps were clear and well engraved and he was very successful throughout his business career, finally selling his stock in 1877, three years before his death.

The population of London in the 1821 census was 1,250,000 rising to 1,474,000 by the 1831 census.

When this map was published:

In Britain John Dalton publishes his atomic theory in 1827.

In America on the 4th July 1826, fifty years after the first annual commemoration took place on the 4th July 1777, two of the founding fathers Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died. Coinciding with one another, on this very specific date, led to many believing it to be more than a coincidence
