This sheet is one of a collection of similar maps hitherto in the collection of the London School of Economics Geography Department, which have been collectively updated and annotated by hand to reflect housing and street developments to 1928 and no later. On this sheet, the Fisherton Street Estate (constructed 1924) has been overpasted. As such, this is a unique map. .
