South East, South West and North East Sections. Seen them on sale for ?25 each but I doubt whether they are particularly collectable: https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?an=&tn=bartholomews%20street%20index%20plan%20london&cm_sp=mbc-_-ats-_-all

Tenner each or all three for ?25


The link has representative pictures.


They will have been opened only a few times, but don't have practical use as they will get quickly damaged. The NE one is a little grubby and missing the back cover, but complete. The other two are very good for the age. They will be as good or better than those advertised in the link.


They postdate 1936 when Crystal Palace burned down, and predate the nationalisation of the railways in 1948, and cost 3 shillings at the time, around ?8 in today's money


I'd mount them and use for cosmetic purposes eg in a community building, shop or pub. But they could look nice in your home too, certainly very interesting. Mounted I expect they would be more valuable too.

    • Niko has done several jobs at our place in Honor Oak.Recently we've called him out to replace s shower. We thought that the tiles needed stripping out  and replacing. However he explained that the tiles were perfectly adequate for what we wanted. That sums up Niko. He never recommends unnecessary work and is always conscious of cost. He is also a brilliant plumber who is available to offer free advice over the phone if necessary. He is also an incredibly nice bloke. Our go to plumber. He is fair reasonable and very professional. 5*. The only reluctance we have is that he may get too popular and next time we need him we may have a problem because he is so busy !!
