355 x 488 mm
Medium: Map
Object number: GA0328
DescriptionMade in 1837 and drawn by Poole, Second Clerk to the Board of Guardians of St. Giles Camberwell, this map is a second corrected edition. The first was made in 1834 following the perambulation to check the boundary.
Unlike commercially produced maps it is orientated east to west rather than north to south. It clearly shows the Grand Surrey Canal passing through Walworth Road and Peckham, now filled in and used as a footpath and cycle way.
