Dartford, Kent

Details of this drawing are corrected in heavy black ink with crosses placed over incorrect field boundaries and communication routes. Red pecked lines form a grid over the drawing. These are triangulation lines, which the draughtsman used to plot features of the landscape. A characteristically straight Roman road is shown leading from Dartford. In the bottom right, the scale is recorded and area calculations laid out.

Enfield

Triangulation lines radiating from fixed points are clearly visible on this map. A pecked red line running adjacent to Lee River marks the boundary separating Essex from Hertforshire and Middlesex. Henhault Forest is shown by a stippled canopy of tree tops at the centre of the drawing. Perhaps the most interesting detail on this map is just south of the forest: a small drawing of a tree inside an enclosure marked 'Fairlop Oak'. This giant oak tree was something of a local landmark. In 1791, William Forsyth, gardener to George III, made unsuccessful attempts to halt the tree's decline. The year that this map was published, the tree was badly burnt by a fire started during a picnic. Its health steadily continued to wane until it was blown down in a gale in 1820. The inclusion of details such as the Fairlop Oak reveals the meticulous nature of the Survey, and the great attention paid to local detail. Budgen, Charles

Epping

Pencil lines radiating from trigonometrical stations cover this drawing. They show the angles used for measuring distances and plotting topographical features. To the left of the map on Chestnut Common, the word 'flag' denotes the site of such a station. Hoddesden Park Wood and surrounding woodland are shown by individual trees with a line at the base, indicating shadow. This laborious technique was often replaced by a more generalised, stippled representation of treetops. The Lee River, running from Standstead at the top of this drawing, branches to form a canal leading down to the Powder Mills, which manufactured Gun Powder for shipping to London. Locks on the canal are shown in red

Woolwich

1 : 21120 This drawing covers the south bank of the River Thames from Deptford to Erith. Pencil and red ink rays extending from fixed points are clearly visible on the manuscript, and were used to plot the survey of the area. The numbers 1 to 7 in red ink across the map indicate the position from which field sketches were taken. Buildings are infilled and blocked in red at settlements like Woolwich and Greenwich. Clearly indicated is the Woolwich Warren, site of naval shipbuilding since the early-16th century. Before the Royal Arsenal was officially established there in 1805, the Warren had been home of military armsworks for more than a century.

Chelmsford 8

Lines in pencil and red ink radiate from trigonometrical stations within the drawing and from the margins. Chelmsford is the largest settlement in the area. A straight, unmarked Roman road leads out from the city. The fact that the road is coloured yellow suggests it was still considered a major communication route. Three mills are marked on the River Chelmer. Marshland along the riverbanks is indicated by rows of dashes, differentiating it from the surrounding cultivated land. A lake and individual trees in the grounds of Moulsham Hall are recorded, towards the bottom of the landmass, a reminder of the meticulous nature of the Survey.

Brentwood, Essex

This drawing covers the settlements and surrounding country of part of Essex. Brentwood is the largest of these settlements. The layout of the town is indicated by red blocks. The straight line of the road leading to the town reveals its Roman origin, although the draughtsman, unusually, does not label it as such. The main communication routes are coloured yellow, conforming to military cartographic standards. The meanderings of the River Crouch are painstakingly plotted, with the surrounding open land represented by dots. Budgen, Charles

Bromley (Kent)

1 : 21120 Drawing showing the area around Bromley in Kent. Field boundaries enclosing cultivated land dominate this map of what is now south-east London. Such land is depicted by a striped pattern. Ruled dashed red lines also feature strongly. They radiate from trigonometrical stations used for measuring and plotting topographical features. The signalling telegraph station in Plow Garlic Hill at the top left of the plan marks the site of a trigonometrical station.

Rainham

1 : 21120 This is a roughly drawn field sketch of the north bank of the Thames, extending from West Thurrock, at the bottom, to Great Warley, at the top. The plan is made up of about 13 irregularly cut pieces of paper watermarked "1794". Some mismatch of detail is noticeable along the edges where the sheets have been joined, and the orientation of the lettering on the component parts is varied. Trigonometrical stations, from which the surveyors took angular readings, are marked 'flag', notably at 'Bulvan Fenn' and just above the low water mark for the Thames. Verron, Charles
