Old and New London: Volume 1 was a book published in 1878 by Cassell, Petter & Galpin.
Now out of print, it was digitised by the British History Online project.
The Volume describes the western part of the City of London, including Cheapside and St Paul’s, and areas to the west of the City, including Fleet Street.
Over the course of the coming months we hope to bring this whole volume to you on The Underground Map. Where pages exist, links will be provided here:
