London, West India, Millwall & Surrey Docks - map c1884

London, West India, Millwall & Surrey Docks - map c1884
This is part of a page from a gazetteer of Great Britain & Ireland, that my father dated to circa 1884, by looking at the railways. He was a great railway enthusiast and knew which railways were built when. It quotes details from the 1881 census, which confirms the 1880s dating. The gazetteer came from my maternal grandfather, who lived the latter years of his life in Cardiff. This may explain why the maps of Wales are missing. The cover and front pages with the publishing details have also gone. The major cities are shown in this amount of detail, but the county maps are in much smaller scales. The maps are clearly by a number of different map makers.
