Description: | This plan was issued with the 'Gentlemen's Magazine' in 1756. The title appears at top right, scale bar at bottom right, and compass rose at the top of the plate. The plan shows the various parishes and landmarks along the road to Islington, with each private property indicated by a letter and a key to landlords in a table at bottom left. Built by the Duke of Grafton in 1756 to drive cattle east to Smithfield Market, avoiding Holborn and Oxford Street, this new road was the first bypass in the capital. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Gentlemen's Magazine | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Plans Cartography And Topography Ward Plans & Districts & Parishes | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Cole, B. | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
