Surrey showroom - Guildford
8 Chertsey Road, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 4HD T. 01483 338888 E. design@charliekingham.co.uk The publication of Richard Horwood’s 32 plate 26 inch to the mile map from which this plate was completed in 1799 as catalogued by James Howgego in Printed Maps of London c1553-1850. Howgego comments that this is the largest and most important London map of the eighteenth century. There was no comparable map until the first edition of the 25-inch Ordnance Survey in the 1860s. Horwood’s intention was to show every house with its number, but it proved impossible to make the numbering complete as Horwood explains in his explanation. Numbering had begun about 1735, when the practice of identifying a building by describing its location in relation to some other building, eg by, opposite, etc. was recognised as clumsy and inaccurate. In Horwood’s day numbering was by no means universal. Every house was shown, nevertheless, with courts, alleys and vacant spaces away from the street frontage.
