Biddenham in 1828 [MA52]

The maps below are Ordnance Survey 25 inches to the mile maps. The first series dates to 1883-1884, the second series to 1901 and the third series to 1926. Before the third series there was practically no development in Biddenham Turn, hence that area is not shown in the 1880s and in 1901. Bromham Road remained practically undeveloped throughout.
