The northwest sheet of James Wyld's 9-sheet map of London and its environs, focusing on Willesden Green, Cricklewood, Childs Hill, Golders Green, Neasden, and Wembley Park.
This map, first published as part of a 9-sheet atlas of London in 1848-49, is rarely found in this unjoined format, making these individual regional sections extremely scarce on the market. Early railway lines are shown on the map. Formal parks and gardens are shaded in green. The map is exceedingly detailed with virtually every building individually drawn and field boundaries outlined. At the time of publication, most of this area was entirely undeveloped farmland, scattered with small villages. Edgware Road and Finchley Road, the two main routes out of London to the northwest at this time, are the only major thoroughfares marked on this section of the map. All other roads are shown as small tracks or paths.
