The Boundaries Of Penge (overlay project)

[Falkor]

Here's yet another one of my projects in progress at various stages. It's based on a scanned version of the 1844 map for greater accuracy, with information being taken from the 1837 enclosure map.

It seems the railway and Croydon Canal once co-existed together between 1839-c1850, with the canal being culverted underneath the railway at 3 different points, giving you a clue to the supposed canal remnant mentioned in a book I recently acquired.

Completed
*Penge boundaries
*Croydon Canal
*Field boundaries
*Woodland still in existence at the time of the canal
*Penge Common boundaries (from illegal enclosures)
*Superimposition of Clay Coppice

Todo

*Corroboration from other maps:
-Norwood Enclosure,
-Croydon Tithe,
-Ordnance Survey.

Updated!!!

Green = 1837 plot boundaries (most were still the same in 1844).
Purple = original boundaries of Penge/Common.
Yellow = common land up until enclosure.
Green = Wooded land up until enclosure.
The canal only passed through a small path of woods--couldn't have been that spectacular.

Clay Coppice is now highlighted in brown!

Surprised there's no interest... I feel that this is one of my top 3 contributions I've ever made to the forum. Bump it anyway...

Edit: I've added all the pre-enclosure buildings if that might spark some interest, though still need to update it on here.
